What are foods that never expire?
With the current
situation we find ourselves constantly going through our pantries to the bottom
and using whatever we find. Some of us want to avoid going to the supermarket
at all costs or order food at home. Whatever your case, do not throw away those
foods that have passed their expiration date.
Depending on the type
of food, many of them may still be good despite having expired. Expiration
dates are an estimate of how long a product will remain in good condition.
However, they can often be safe to consume even later.
First, the most
important thing is to understand what the expiration dates actually mean.
" Best before
" dates are food manufacturers' recommendations for how long foods will
keep at their best quality. Consuming it after the date should not be harmful.
The
"expiration" dates are so consumers know how long the produce will be
considered fresh. After that, the food can go bad. It's a rough guideline, and
you can always use your own judgment to determine if the food is still good.
The "Sell
by" dates are so storing know how long to keep this product on display.
You can consume the product after that date, but the quality and taste have
probably decreased. This date is not a food safety issue.
Expiration dates also
reflect quality, not food safety, and is a rough recommendation from the
manufacturer.
These are
11 foods that stay good even after their expiration date
1. Hard
cheese
Hard cheeses like
Parmesan can still be edible even as they begin to show signs of aging. If the
expiration date passes, white or blue-green mold may form on the surface. In
this case, just cut the affected parts and the rest of the cheese will be
perfectly edible.
Hard cheeses have a
low moisture content, which makes it difficult for bacteria to grow, as most
bacteria prefer moist environments.
2. Eggs
Eggs are perishable
items that can spoil as fast as other animal foods. But its shelf life can be
extended by a couple of days with proper handling. If kept in the refrigerator
at 4.4 degrees Celsius, they will keep good for about three to four weeks after
the packing date.
3.
Granola and cereal
Dry and processed
foods contain little or no moisture, which reduces their perishability. This
makes them fully edible between one and three weeks after their expiration
date. Nuts, chips, and crackers last a long time for the same reason.
4. Bread
Bread can last about a week after its
expiration date, but you have to watch out for mold. Store the bread in a cool,
dry environment. To make the bread last longer, freeze it and it will keep for
three to six months. Over time it may lose its freshness and flavor, but it
will still be edible.
5. Pasta
The pasta's low moisture
content can compensate for rancidity, whether it's white or whole. Therefore,
it is safe to use until approximately two years after its expiration date. Keep
in mind that quality will decrease over time. The same applies to dry rice and
raw oats.
6. Canned
corn
Canned corn is one of
the longest-lasting foods available. The expiration date is usually three or
five years. But it can be safely consumed for up to a year or two later, as the
canning process kills the microorganisms that spoil food and there is no oxygen
inside to spoil it.
beans, mushrooms,
pasta sauce, chicken, chili, and fruits are other canned goods that last a long
time. The taste will be affected as time goes on, but they should be safe to
consume.
7. Dry
ingredients
White flour, salt, baking
soda, baking powder, and sugar fall into this category.
Since there is no
moisture in the dry ingredients, they are less susceptible to bacterial growth
in general. Salt, in particular, never goes bad because it does not have the
means to support bacterial growth and is often used as a preservative.
8. Milk
Cow's milk can last
up to a week after its expiration date, but usually only about 2-3 days. Always
smell it before use to make sure it doesn't smell sour. The way the milk is
processed can also affect how long it will expire. Pasteurized, UHT (ultra-high
temperature) and raw milk all differ in terms of shelf life.
9.
Walnuts
Walnuts don't contain
a lot of moisture, but because of their high fat content, always inspect nuts
before eating if they've been in your pantry for a while.
If they smell of
grass or paint, look dark or oily, or there is water damage to the packaging,
throw them away. It is best to always store walnuts in a cool, dry place. If
you have space in your fridge, store them there. If not, a cool dark closet
will suffice.
10. Root
vegetables
Root vegetables like beets, carrots, and
parsnips can last for several weeks without any negative effect on their
flavor.
In general, the
fresher the food and the more water and oil it contains, the faster it will
spoil.
11. Honey
Honey never goes bad.
It's a low-moisture acid, high in sugar, and even contains hydrogen peroxide.
In general, it is a very unfavorable environment for most microbes. So, if
honey is sealed properly and stored in a dry environment, it will last forever.
How to
tell when a food has gone bad
When in doubt, use
your senses of sight, touch, and smell to see if the food has gone bad. If it
smells bad, feels bad, and looks bad, it most likely is.
For example, spoiled
milk will smell unpleasantly sour or even putrid. Meat that has a pungent, ammonia-like
odor that is turning green and slimy also shows obvious signs of bad condition.
Discoloration or mold
on vegetables and fruits is a sign of rancidity.
Also, don't eat
canned goods if:
·
They are
dented or bulging.
·
If the
seal is broken.
·
If dry food
remains come out of the top, or
·
If the
food inside smells bad.
·
If it has
an unnatural color or foamy / cotton-like mold on top.
