HELP! I just discovered that the Worcestershire sauce I just used in a recipe for roasted pumpkin seeds was "best if used by January 2006". The batch is already in the oven!! Are we going to get sick? Do we need to throw out the whole batch? Will it be gross?? HELP ASAP!!!

I really wouldn't worry about it. It is mostly malt vinegar which is acidic enough that it isn't going to spoil. It is probably better with age. It takes two years to make Worcestershire sauce.
Everything has an expiration date.

No. I've got a bottle of it I've had for years and I've never gotten sick from using it. To be honest I didn't even know that it was something that expires. But I know the one I'm using is older than 2006. And it isn't kept refrigerated.

Sour Cream Chicken Enchilladas are a wickedly good way to use up sour cream. :-) 3 1/2 cups Sour cream 3 5-oz Cans boned chicken, cut up (about 2 cups) 2 4-oz Cans mushroom stems and pieces, drained 1 4-oz Can green chilies, drained 1/3 cup Onion flakes 1 tsp Chili powder 1/2 tsp Salt 1/2 tsp Garlic powder 1/4 tsp Pepper Salad oil 12 Tortillas 1/3 lb. Cheddar cheese, shredded Preparation: In a 13" x 9" pan, spread 1 cup of sour cream; set aside. In 2-qt. saucepan, with fork, flake chicken; add 1/2 cup sour cream, mushrooms, green chilies, onion flakes, chili powder, salt, garlic powder and pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, just until heated through. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In 8-inch skillet over medium-high heat, in about 1/2-inch hot salad oil, fry 1 tortilla a few seconds on each side until softens. (Or warm them in the microwave between two wet paper towels for about 30 seconds.) Spread about 1/4 cups chicken mixture, along center of the tortilla; fold sides of tortilla over filling and place seam side down, in the sour cream in the pan. Repeat, making 11 more. Spread enchiladas generously with remaining sour cream, then sprinkle with cheese. Bake 8 minutes or until cheese is melted.

you should be just fine.. what that date is really for is to give it a due date in case a grocer has to trade it for newer bottles.. yes it has a shelf life but it is not going to make you sick.. if it would.. it would be on the bottle as a warning.. you should be just fine.. good luck

I would throw it out, just because it has a very distinct flavor that will be noticably off. Try them first.

I'm sure you'll be fine. Eat them and enjoy them.... and pitch that bottle and buy a new one, JIC.
