Past its use-by - would you eat it???

[blessedatlast]

Lol.. Umm, I would but seeing someone else spew would most likely make me spew too. Hopefully now you have removed the mould and covered the stench you'll be right

NO!!
i never ever ever ever use them past use by date, im paranoid

[Boo Boo]

Just use lots of garlic...should kill off any nasties!

[indie24]

Other meats maybe but never mince or chicken

[OceanPrincess]

I wouldn't do it either.

From frozen, maybe. Not fresh. Most of my meat goes straight in the freeze once bought as I don't like wasting things that hit there use by.

Its a "use by" date for a reason...

There is usually a few days margin of error in the use by dates so it should be fine. The stuff pre-packed in the styrofoam lasts better than the stuff from the butcher because it is handled less.
That said I always just chuck mince straight in the freezer if I'm not using it that day because you can cook it from frozen if you need to.

I have cooked it but not eaten it yet! It was a 'best before' rather than a 'use by' date. Does that make it better?? Have been simmering it away for the past 2 hours... surely that will kill any possible nasties?!! Hmm... a little nervous now!!!
