Still Good: 10 Expired Foods You Can Safely Eat After the Expiry Date

Introduction
The “expiration date” on food packaging can be misleading. Many foods are perfectly safe—and still delicious—well past their labeled date. Expiration dates often refer to quality rather than safety, especially when food has been stored properly. Let’s look at 10 common foods that can outlast their expiry date and how to recognize when they’re still okay to eat.
