I tried using a big jar of Skippy peanut butter a month past its expiration date for kare-kare once. It still tasted good and we didn’t get sick or anything.

I’m always skeptical about the “best before” date but I will relax now.

I’ve once discovered and ate a giant and forgotten bar of Toblerone that is way past its consume before date. The stupid teen brain rationalized it like this: “Hmmm… well honey last forever, right?”. No ill effects after. :D

MM, you are right. Prosciutto can stay forever in the freezer. If raw meat e.g. steak, duck etc do not go bad deep frozen, what more salt cured meat?

Cecco products go on sale at the Costplus world market and I would buy more than I need. I have used canned Cecco products past its best before date and nothing happened. I did read somewhere that the expiry date for some products are just a guide for shop owners in the maintenance of their inventory.

Old beans and pasta are a different story, though.

I think there’s no need to worry about the expired canned goods. You can consume them months after the expiry date as long as they were stored well in a cool and dry place and don’t have dents and rust. I’ve even read suggestions that you can use them up to 4 years after expiry.
I’m dying to see what your walk in freezer looks like now that you’ve mentioned it. :)

My dream slicer is not quite as mechanical as yours and somewhat more demanding of concentration and finely honed skill: httpss://goo.gl/MrwhCK
