Expired Foods You Can Still Eat

If you're wondering if the food in the back of your pantry is still good, I have a list of foods that are good to eat even though they have expired.

Most of the time, expiration dates are only there as a guide, which means that some food doesn't become unsafe to eat and we can be throwing away perfectly good food.

Of course, use your instinct- if something doesn't taste right, please throw it out.

If your eggs have been in your fridge for about 3-5 weeks from the day you purchased them they are generally still safe to eat, even if the printed date has passed.

Canned foods usually last indefinitely as long as they are being stored at a safe temperature, but for the best quality use within 2-5 years of the purchase date.

If your canned goods are in a can that is rusted or bulging, make sure to throw it out.

Another food that is safe indefinitely is frozen food. Although the quality will deteriorate within a few months, it should still be safe to eat.

There are so many other foods that are safe to eat past the expiration date and there's even an app that can help answer specific questions you may have.
