I have artificial crab meat that says it expired Oct 13th, is it safe to eat still or no?

Question

it's still in the oritional package. I thought alot of foods were still good after the expiration date, just as a date not to sell it anymore. it smells fine

Answer 1

Try it out and get back to me....

Answer 2

I wouldn't risk it. It's not that expensive and not worth risking your health. Even though it's processed and contains other ingredients, I wouldn't eat any meat product that was expired -- but over a month? NO. Don't want to get a stomache ache before Thanksgiving!

Answer 3

By all means - NO!

Sea food is the worst thing to mess with. And although your meat is artificial crab meat, it is real sea food.

Answer 4

I would say, no. Has the meat been refriegerated properly? If not, I would definetly not cook it. What about mold? Do you see any signs of white cakey stuff on the plastic or the meat? Hope this helps!

Answer 5

Hazel dear,

please throw it in the garbage.


There is a reason for expiration dates!

Answer 6

If it has been in the freezer since before that date you may safely eat it now. If it hasn't been frozen since then, or you aren't sure, then throw it away.

Answer 7

Please dont tell me you are thinking of eating this. Something like crabmeat i wouldn't take the chance as it could make you quite ill.
I know a lot of things are ok to eat after the best before date but not crabmeat.

Answer 8

No, it is not. It's made of fish, and fish goes bad quickly. Trust that date and pitch it! (unless you've had it frozen)

Answer 9

whatever u do dont eat it im taking a cooking course you will get bad food poisoning!

Answer 10

If it is frozen yes. If it has just been in the fridge, it is probably off. Your nose will tell you.

Answer 11

no, it is cod and all fish should get pitched after 3 days max.
