My ham hocks said to sell by 8/17/08 and I just cooked them tonight, are they okay to eat?

Question

I hope so because my husband just finished off a huge plate!!

Answer 1

He will be fine. I'm glad you tested them on your husband before you tried them on your dog, the poor dog could have become ill :)

Answer 2

i work in a store as long as you cook it with in a week you will be fine but after a week it's start to mold and you don't want that so ya you will be fine just make sure it's all ate by tomorrow or you will need to thought it out............. hope i helped you out

Answer 3

should be..the sell by date is when the store has to get rid of them...left unfrozen stuff is usually good for about a week after that. Frozen it's safe much longer. That's why I look in the stores for almost expired sell by dates on meats...some grocery stores offer dollars off for that meat and then you can freeze it until you're ready to eat it.

Answer 4

Yes as they are already cooked. As long as they have been stored and handled correctly.
