Some people believe that if food was stored in the refrigerator and went bad only yesterday, then nothing bad will happen if you use it as intended.
But it also happens that at home people don’t pay attention to the expiration dates of food products at all.
What is Freeganism?
This is one of the Western European trends, born in the minds of eco-activists. It implies, frankly, eating expired food.
Proponents of the concept believe that products have a much longer shelf life than the manufacturer states.
But experts warn that people forget about other concepts, such as storage and delivery conditions.
You can eat without looking
There are products that are consumed without looking at the date, and this is harmless. But this mainly concerns pasta, cereals, salt and sugar, frozen products.
But even they have their own expiration date and storage period.
It's better not to experiment
The insidious thing about expired food is that after consuming it, nothing will happen to your digestion. But years later, it will remind you of itself.
So throw it away immediately:
- expired sausages, hot dogs, etc.;
- milk and fermented milk products;
- eggs stored in improper conditions;
- all confectionery products and pasta with added eggs;
- expired canned goods;
- expired bread.
All these products, even if they remain attractive in appearance and do not have a characteristic odor, may contain pathogenic microflora, which will ultimately cause poisoning or serious problems in the future.
