Hello Nairalanders. So I was gifted some food items. I just noticed that among them, 5 cartons of indomie and 5 cartons of Honeywell Macaroni both carry a 'best before date' of 2mnts ago (1st June 2021 and 3rd June 2021 respectively). How safe will it be for us to consume them? Or should we just dispose them off? Thanks

The mods will put it on fp if you provide the name of your father in-law that is kind enough to send indomie to his beloved daughter and son in-law. A very thoughtful father that cares for his family. What a great man he is. Put his name no need for pictures so we can honour him here.

For real? Are you a nutritionist or a health worker?

OP maybe you can tell nairalanders your father-in-law's name so that the poor Nigerians who deserved the palliatives can join you and thank him.

For the love of yourself and your family, take down this post ASAP!
If it gets to the front page, you’re toast!

None of the above.
I just know say Nigerians don curse the hoarders if the palliative tire

Aunty Mariah, leave him na

First off, you know a politician that hoarded Covid palliative and you're on a public forum announcing it because of Sapa.

Secondly, noodles isn't even that healthy, add eating it after the best before date, I'd strongly advise against it.

Let’s be our brothers’ corrupt politicians’ keeper.

Best before doesn't mean it has turn to poison, but it means it would have lost its taste and properties.

Expiry date for drugs means it has definitely turn to poison.

Simple English. "Best before" so so date.
If you eat it, you may start purging

All the 36 state governors hoarded covid-19 palliatives. What have you done about them?

You want to follow chop from the curses abi?

As far as I know best before date is not same as expiry date. Best before date means that the quality of the product cannot be guaranteed after the date given. But product can still be considered safe. But remember, nothing is quaranteed after the best before date. So examine the stuff before you eat

E Be Many Things For op

Sapa

Why throw it when you can give it out

its fine i guess

SLOVFO:
Ok

It depends on the level of hunger.

No let Sapa push you to do this ooo...


The nutritional value wouldn't be as expected again..

Also the chemicals and addictives used in processing could be potentially harmful at this stage.



Bottomline, don't consume it.

No chop

O por piripi

But on a more serious note, if truly na your father-in-law hoarded those particular items him na wicked man.

He is not wicked in the sense that he simply hoarded but in the fact that he had to wait for those items to expire before sharing them. But let's presume that a higher politician hoarded and shared to his politician friends of which your father-in-law is one of them.

Why didn't he share it siiiiiiince? And now you go waste your humility and gratitude on top expired goods.

From the kitchen of @[/b], This is the answer you seek.

Pasta won't spoil easily because it's a dry product.
You can use it well past the expiration date, so long as it doesn't smell funny.
[b]Generally, dry pasta has a shelf life is one years, but you can typically push it to two.
