Retro spot on. Best before should be OK. Be more careful about 'use by' dates. But, if you use a bit of common sense and smell / look at the item you should be OK.

Depends what it is, and whether it looks and smells ok or not.
Obviously fish, dairy you have to be careful.
But I wouldn't throw somehting out that was past its date without having a good sniff first :thup:

If I've got some dates on my food I normally pick them out. I'm not a fan of them.

Milk that's off or smelling a bit funky brings on wretching for me - so I'm the same.
