yes...when i was much younger...i sat by the refrigerator in the dark...mom had bought those shortcake rounds the week before and had them in the frig...i started eating them...didn't realize a couple had gotten a bit moldy.....tasted kinda like watermelon....lol

The expiration date that appears on packaged food is confusing to some people, largely as a result of words used, such as "Best Before," "Sell By" or "Use By." Is food still safe to eat on that date, or slightly after that date? Let's think about saving cash by understanding what that expiration date indicates. Check more here.

I've accidentely taken a bite from expired food before.

no

Expired - yes Rotten - no

Expiration date - is a date to which foodmaker guarantees it is eatable. Most of the food after expiration date is still good to eat, without a risk of food poisoning

Joey, as do I.

And yes I have but thankfully, my immune system is keeping out the bacteria.

Haha. I hope the people who refuse to eat expired food change their mind at some point. A lot of food is fine for at least a few days after the "eat by" date. Seriously, I have emetophobia (a fear of vomit) and even I eat certain food late.

Yes,It was a mistake and I'm never doing that again!!!!

Yes, by mistake and I will never do that again!!

Yes, I have

No. You can't eat expired food. You'll get a stomach ache.

Expired yes but rotten, you shoud be able to smell or see it...i have done the taste test...and yuck!!!

I don't recommend rotten food though...

Expire dates are not set in stone so yes. For example you can drink milk a few days after it's "expired", especially if it hasn't been out of the fridge and is unopened.
Seriously I have friends who dumpster-dive and find fresh bread and vegetables and stuff. If you've stored the food properly and it smells and looks nice it's flipping stupid to throw it away because of a date on the packaging.

Moderator note: Please don't swear here.

On purpose? Never.

Yeah I have eaten somethings that have gone past there date

There is no expiry date on food here except spices and artificial foods and as far as rotten goes I have tasted to see if it's eat able but haven't eaten it completely.

yes

Often eat expired food. All you have to do is look at it, the expiration date is just made by the companies to insure themselves, rightly of course.

Expired - Yes. Once a soft drink, by mistake.
Rotten - NEVER.

Expired, of course! As longs as it looks good

Never. I'm very careful with stuff like that.

Probably, not on purpose though.

No, I don't wanna get food poisoning.

Yes !
