How rigorous are you when it comes to these? I'm really really fussy and won't consider eating/drinking anything past the best before date. Its just a 'thing' I have and I know I'm over the top about it but its almost become a phobia now.
I watched a programme recently about a guy who, for two weeks ate out of date food. On the 13th day he ate mince that was 13 days out of date and on the 14th he used mouldy 14 day old break to make toast. All of the dangerous bacteria was broken down in the cooking but it still made me want to vomit.
I'm aware that a lot these sell by dates are just created by the manufacturers and supermarkets in order to sell more products, quicker, but I'm afraid I buy into it.
