I’ll bend on some stuff but also not really tempting fate for $1.73 worth of questionable decisions either

It lasts a lot longer, the organic milk we have in the fridge right now has December on it.
That’s if unopened. That milk will not be good in December. It’s not gonna be good in November either

No they aren’t. And “expired” dates are a wholly different thing than “sell by” dates.
bullshite. Ask the FDA

didn’t realize Tony’s expired. Still use it. Think it expired like 2 years ago. Don’t notice a difference.
Are you buying a 55 gallon drum at a time? If not how does a can of Tony’s expire in your household?

That mcdonalds is not special or problematic. It would happen to any thin well done burger with no condiments. It has been repeated with home made burgers.

Yikes. Doubling down on your ignorance. Bold choice.
There is only one thing that is federally required to have and to be removed once it is past its expiration date (food wise), infant formula. According to the FDA. Nothing else is required by law to have an actual expiration date.
The FDA has no laws or regulations around sell by dates as they are not expiration dates.

…..are more of a guide than a rule.
Like my daddy always said, “if it smells good, eat it!“.

They have expiration dates on salt.
Fresh salt?
I won’t eat any salt that has been around for more than 3 trillion years.

Smells funny, looks funny, color change, or packaging gets poofy? I’m not eating. No matter the date.

According to my food scientist friend, for nearly all pre-packaged and processed items (think sauces, condiments, canned items etc) the best by date is exactly that, a guarantee of flavor and texture. Beyond that date the food is generally safe to eat for a lot longer just may not taste exactly the same as a fresh item (be wary of bulging cans though).
For fresh foods like milk cheese meats etc they will degrade much more quickly so while the best by date isn’t a use or toss date, it won’t take much longer to develop bacteria or other nasties.

Correct, but we don't open both gallons at the same time.
We have found the ultra pasteurized organic milks also last the longest. With young children, we can go through a gallon in 2 days or 7 days depending on what they are feeling. But the organic milk passes the smell test the longest after opening.
Also, do not order milk from delivery or store pick up, go in and get it so you get the one in the back that is the newest to the store.
