[Closed] Anyone managed to get food poisoning from eating out of date food?

An ex got a sore tummy from eating some out of date ham.

I eat out of date stuff all the time.

If it tastes OK then it should be OK I think (not for warm rice tho!)

I had a really bad episode several years ago from eating a sausage that had been in the fridge for a few days. Proper weight loss kind of thing...

When I lived in Cornwall, I once ate a (large) amount of clotted cream (stop s****ing yeti) that may or may not have been out of date. I had an arse like a sauce bottle top, but lived.

If the smell doesn't repulse you and things aren't growing on it, probably okay

I know someone who once consumed some out date yoghurt/health drink thingy.

He now has Crohn's disease.

Known in these here parts as the " Aztec two step ".

One time [s]at band camp[/s] in Cornwall......

I was ill after drinking some milk. It was well within it's date, but drinking 6pints within an hour for a challange is apparently not a good idea, thankfully we did it on the patio so the resultig 30 litres of cottage cheese (there were 5 of us) could be hosed down the drain.

Plenty of food poisoning from food, but never knowingly from out of date stuff.

I once ate some guacamole that had orange mould on top, but it looked fine underneath.

I was the sickest i have ever been in my life. Threw up in my hallway because i couldn't get to the bathroom in time 😳

I ate roasted peppers from a jar that were 10 years out of date. Absolutely fine.

Do I win a prize?

The in-laws are black belts at having out of date food they have packets of crisps and chocolates from the turn of the century, tea bags from brands that don't exist any more and a stockpile of beans & spam under the stairs in corroded tins.

Whoah, you're like, super-crazy!

Go and do some proper drugs and come back with a decent story about being sick in your girlfriend's mum's bed.

Edit: maybe stopping smoking is having an effect on my temperament.

I would steer clear of out of date meat. But anything else, so long as it doesn't smell or has evolved into something else is fair game

I had food poisoning after a dodgy packet of crisps at 11:30pm after i'd had a few pints. I was sick everywhere and had a massive headache the next day.

I once ran through a dead deer on my bike (it was hiding under some bracken). It was very rotten and some of it went in my mouth.

I was quite sick. And it made my bike smell. And the deer was still dead.

Does that help TSY?

Fish pie.
Keep away if it smells too fishy.

beans & spam under the stairs in corroded tins.

Mmmmm, tastes like botulism.

I don't pay too much to use by dates as I used to work for a Juice company, they had two Tetrarex filling machines 1 with UV / peroxide sterilisation for the cartons and one without. The machine with UV officially had 2 months more shelf life on the juice but because the batches could potentially be mixed the use by date had to fall inline with the machine without which was 30 days.

If the food is unopened and kept refridgerated then it's probably going to be ok, however if when you open the fridge the food jumps out, grabs your face and tries to impregnate you it's probably time for the bin.

Good work Dr... do you think it was the deer or were you just hysterical dear?

Please don't follow this advice. Not all unsafe food is going to smell or look bad, spoilage bacteria and pathogenic bacteria are different. Use by dates are there as a safe guide from shelf life testing that a manufacturer has carried out. The likelihood of food poisoning is slim, but products with a use by date such as dairy and fresh meat shouldn't be consumed outside the use by date. Best before dates on the other hand are a mark of quality rather than food safety and the product may not be as the manufacturer intended and the product may start to decline in quality.

My worst tummy problems have been caused by hotel buffet food, which is usually yesterday's dinner kept at the wrong temperature overnight then left all through lunch time at blood heat in a bain marie, just the right conditions for bacterial growth.

do you think it was the deer or were you just hysterical dear?

that is sooooo baaaaad.
I literally closed my laptop after reading that, sat and despaired for several seconds.
Shame. shame.
