I have "Hillshire Farm Litl' Smokies" smoked sausages in my fridge. They've never been open.
The use-or-freeze-by date is February 21, 2007.
It's been a month basically.
Isn't it still good to eat? I forgot about them and I am eager to eat them tomorrow morning.
I mean, it hasn't even been open. Is that a good enough reason to still be able to eat it?

I don't thing so. I wouldn't eat it. its bin in the fridge for a month? No don't eat it. It won't kill you but i think you'll just get Green poop or some thing. But if you have the money to pick up a fresh one at the store, Do it. recommend that you automatically freeze items like this that you are not sure you are going to use within a day or so, and when you get ready to have them, you can thaw them out. Because, if you would have had them in the freezer they would have still been good.

If they have been in your fridge the whole time, then they aren't good to eat. They may have never been open, but the package tells you to use or freeze them by feb. 21. In the future I would recommend that you automatically freeze items like this that you are not sure you are going to use within a day or so, and when you get ready to have them, you can thaw them out. Because, if you would have had them in the freezer they would have still been good.

That can cause a serious problem if you're going to eat something that expired on February 21, 2007. This is how Food Poision starts. Dont u know about that Rita L.?

they are delicious, I like mine with warmed with a little bbq sauce mixed with beer.
that being said, too old, I would stay away from it, and get a new pack.
since it is basically a lunchmeat, they have been exposed to some sort of open air processing, and although I am sure many precautions have been taken, a month more for microbes to grow would not be good.

Don't eat the Li'l Smokies. Expiration dates are there for a reason.

There is a chance they still might be good. you've obviously had them before and know what to expect from the smell when you open them. So give em' a whiff first.

Enjoy them. If you feel lil movements in your stomach or deficate larvae later in the day, then you know not to eat them next time.
