  • Stupid labelling

    Is it true that if I eat this at 13 minutes past midnight on Christmas day, I'll be stricken with all sorts of dire diseases, but I'll be safe at 11 minutes past?

    Yes, I mean, can't you read?

    Seriously though, I often wonder what probability there is to eating a spoiled product, one, two or three days after the "a consummer de preferenca avant" date

      You risk nothing. The date on the package is (proportionally) lot of days before the real one.

        It depends on the product. With fresh milk for instance the best before date is quite accurate.

            I've never had anything stay fresh past the printed expiry.

            But maybe that says more about my fridge than my food...

              Refrigerated products will have a shelf-life proportional to how cold the storage is, above freezing. The colder, the better.

                No wonder since it's one hardly any milk in it
