It’s always advisable to check on the date of a particular good you got so that you don’t mess yourself up because probably it’s not consumable after then.

But this doesn’t really apply to all foods, as there are others that can be taken even after they are due.

Sometimes these dates are just to help you get rid of it in the sense that finish it so that you can go and get another one it’s a business strategy…but don’t bank on this though, don’t go saying I told you this. Its always good you follow the directives given.

Always consider using your eyes and nose they will never lie to you some products are still edible even after their expiry date as long they are kept on nice place.

1. CEREALS

These are normally taken during breakfast and as long as you keep them on a cool dry dark place they can still be consumed.

2. CANNED FOODS

This has expiry dates, but they can stay about two years plus without going bad as long as they remain closed and there are no dents. They can be taken still.
A good example is the Army, they are normally packed with canned foods that they carry and can take for months and very many weeks without them going bad.
