Have you eaten an expired yogurt without realizing it?

Are you about to call the poison center and the ambulance service?

Calm down ! Do you know that the dates of consumption of food products are subject to interpretation?

Some foods can be stored (and eat each other) beyond the date indicated on the package, without putting your health at risk.

That's good because throwing away food is a waste and we don't like it!

And it's happened to all of us, right, to miss the date of eating certain foods?

For some products, the expiration date must be respected, but for others, it may be exceeded because it is only indicative.

So how do you tell the difference between the products that can be eaten after the expiration date and the others?

Here are 9 foods you can eat even expired without getting sick:

1. Yogurts

Yogurt is one of those foods that you can eat long after the expiration date on it.

You can eat them 2 weeks to 3 months after the date indicated ! It all depends on the type of yogurt.

However, there is one exception to note: if your yoghurts / dessert creams contain eggs, you must respect the expiration date.

2. Cheeses

If you ever have cheese left in the fridge and the expiration date has passed, you don't need to throw it away.

It is eaten 2 weeks after the use-by date indicated on the packaging.

And to keep it longer without it hardening, check out our tip here.

3. UHT milk

Milk is sterilized food. It can therefore be consumed long after the expiry date indicated.

Even if it will have lost its nutritional qualities (less minerals and vitamins), you can drink it 2 months after the deadline.

And if despite this, you have expired milk, discover the 6 uses of expired milk that no one knows.

4. Frozen

Forgot a few frozen bags in the back of the freezer? It does not matter.

Frozen foods, especially vegetables, can be stored years after the specified date.

Some foods keep longer than others in the freezer. Find out here how long you can keep food in the freezer.

5. Tin cans

A tin can left in the back of the cupboard is relatively common. The good news is you can still eat them several years after the date which is indicated on the box.

It gives you time to sort through the cupboards!

6. Raw ham and dry ham

Ham is a more sensitive food than those we have just mentioned.

But raw ham and dry ham can still be eaten without any risk, 2 weeks after the use-by date.

7. Pasta, rice and lentils

Dry products are magic foods: healthy, economical, quickly prepared!

You can now give them another asset: they are consumed several years after their date consumption limit.

8. Chocolate

Do you have chocolate that has passed its best-before date? Finally, you are not that greedy!

Finally ... know that you can eat your chocolate bars (without cream or ganache) until 2 years after the use-by date.

9. Honey

The good news with honey is that despite the expiration date indicated, it never expires.

A good excuse to stock up on this delicious lavender honey made in Provence!
