Expired products should not be in the diet. This threatens a lot of health problems, for example, intestinal inflammation and so on.

Therefore, you should always check the expiration date of milk, sour cream, etc. in the store. In addition, it is better to taste certain products before you start cooking.

For example, if you drink expired milk, there is a risk of getting E. coli, staphylococci, and so on.

Nutritionist Valentina Salaman told the publication Podmoskovie Segodnya about this.

She also reminded about what will happen if you eat expired meat. She noted that in this case, problems are also possible.

Raw meat can be kept in the cold for up to two days. If you manage to freeze it in time, the product can stay in the freezer for about six months or even a year.

If mold is noticed on bread or any other product, do not try to fry it or cut off the affected parts.

Such a product is already completely contaminated.

In addition, the nutritionist said that expired chocolate can become covered with a white coating. It is safe to eat, but you should not do this. If such a delicacy has a "gray" coating, then this is crystallized sugar or solidified cocoa butter.

You shouldn't think that cereals can be stored indefinitely. If we're talking about rice, it can last for a year and a half, pearl barley - two, and buckwheat - about 20 months. Rolled oats even less - six months.

Pasta that has not been made with eggs can last up to two or three years in an unopened package.

But there are also products that have an almost unlimited shelf life. We are talking about salt, vinegar and sugar.
