Can i eat scones after the best before date?

Question

they say the 18th of aug today is the 22nd can i eat them? they look normal

Answer 1

I personally wouldn't because there is a best before date there for a reason. However I know many people who would still eat them. They won't taste nice though would be stale.

Answer 2

Yes, as long as they don't have any mould on them they will be fine.  Even the mould can be cut off if you are desperate to eat them, though you probably wouldn't want to give them to a guest!  They might be a bit dry now so you could warm them a little in the oven or microwave and they should soften up nicely. Enjoy

Answer 3

yes you can eat the scones. That date just tells the store when to take them off the shelf, but you should eat them quickly or they will spoil.

Answer 4

u can eat them they won't make u ill but they won't be as fresh or soft best before dates tell us when food is past its best but still edible use by dates tell us when a food has to be eaten or it goes off and could make u ill hope this helps

Answer 5

Of course you can!

Answer 6

As long as there's no sign of mould on them, they should be alright although I suggest you split and toast them before you start trying to eat them otherwise you might break a tooth on them !

Answer 7

yep...............that's just the date that they recommend you'll get the best taste of the food.........it's the use by date tat you should look out for..............if you eat it by this date then you could become ill and have food poisoning..etc.........

Answer 8

Call an ambulance first just to be on the safe side.

Answer 9

Yes pop them in a warm oven for a few minutes to freshen them up.

Answer 10

Yeah i guess, if there is no mold. But they may be kind of stale...
