Every canned food and medication has an expiration date. I was surprised to read that many people take canned food, snacks and drugs after the expiration date. Now I am no expert, but I am sure the manufacturer have good reasons why they put an expiration date. I have a habit of checking expiration dates whether it's canned food or medicine. For some reason I think I am going to die if I eat or drink something expired. What is your opinion? Do you check expiration dates?

I, too, have the habit of always checking. One can never be too careful.

Its not just checking the expiration date I do but the duration of the product as well. I recently got one ''fruit'' juice that was made to last for 4 years! What kind of juice is that if not just chock full of harmful and dangerous chemicals?
