When in doubt, throw it out.

Tell me you have never had serious food poisoning without telling me you have never had serious food poisoning.

It took once for me!

Upside gain of 6-day old chicken salad

Versus

Downside loss of your weekend with major flu like symptoms amplified by weakness, nausea and diahrrea.

Order pizza and don’t look back.

It always baffles me how people still get so freaked out about this. Expiration dates exist mainly for quality and legal liability.


And sales!

However, I typically hear this from friends n family who leave food out for hours at family gatherings…and never connect the dots between the “random” runs they get and their ignorance about food safety.

Should I eat it? It smells okay.


If it smells OK, there is no need to throw it out and waste food. There are starving kids in Africa.

I buy pizza and eat it out of the box for a couple of days.

I've done much more dangerous stuff.

Depends on the temperature in the fridge and how long it was left out initially before it was refrigerated.

Go ahead and eat it

If you feel good the next few days my answer is yes it’s good

If you start hurling up your intestines and shitting like a goose my answer is no, don’t eat anymore of it

The fact that grown arse men have to ask a message board if we think the food is expired and they don’t have the common sense to figure it out in their own is quite disturbing.

Some of y'all were never poor and it shows.

I would still eat it if it had been sitting in the fridge since last Monday

Store bought food has so many preservatives in it, you’ll be fine. McDonald’s burgers stay good for years in the pantry. Vile shite

Same here. Hell, a whole fresh chicken can be bought for $1.49 a lb. or you can get one already cooked in store for under $8 at most stores.

Not worth risking food poisoning for that little bit of money. I've had it twice and never want to go through that again over sketchy food.

I would venture to guess I was more broke in childhood than most of this board. Those who have read some of my posts about my life would agree.

But I haven’t been broke enough to need to test food since I was 18.
