The date stamp said Feb 01. It's is now Feb 13 but the cream does not smell bad. However, it looks partly congealed in the carton. Does that normally happen with cream? It's organic cream. And it was not opened until today. Should I toss it? Is the date the time by which I should use it or open it (the carton does not say)?

I would throw it out . the date on the cream could be a bb ( best before that date) or a use by date which means you should use it before that date. It is 11 days past the date so either way I would think it was no good.

When it starts beating up the other dairy products in your refrigerator? ;-)
Use fresh, pasteurized cream within one to five days of the "sell-by" date.

You will probably know it's bad when it comes out in lumps when you pour it

I would think it's no good, but taste it and you will know soon enough:)
