    Interesting information! Apparently I’m flirting with the devil with some of these dates. For milk expiration I usually let my nose do the deciding. I’ve even had some dairy brands go bad before the best by date. That is the WORST!

      Long story but I was once stuck in a remote cabin without enough food and we ate canned goods that were 2 and 3 years outdated. :)
