Pasturization doesn't mean much once the milk has been opened. Once it's been exposed to air, it can be colonized by any bacteria or fungal spores in the air
Also the packaging (ie Tetra Brick) has a expiry time when the material degradation makes it not bacteria-tight anymore, allowing external bacteria to enter and spoil the food. Just pierce a pack of milk with a needle and wait one week... It will get all bloated and when you open it you will feel it's not very safe to drink ..
Plus pasteurizatiom doesn't kill all the bacteria (and neither kill the mold spores) but reduce it to a safe amount for consuption (that is why you must keep it in the Fridge) How long until this bacteria grows and start being unsafe? View expiry date. (It is true that food flavors and quality gets affected when spoiled BEFORE it is unsafe, so manufactures are a bit conservative as they don't want their brand to get damaged) but please don't drink milk much after the expiry date... UHT in the other hand kills all the bacteria and mold spores, that's why it doesn't need refrigeration if unopened.
I'm convinced that every couple has one person who believes food never goes bad, and another who thinks anything that's been in the fridge for more than a day is bad.
For my bachelor's degree, we created an app which could scan a different type of barcode which contained the expiration date. The concept was to create a smart grocery app which would give you discounts depending on how close to the expiration date the product was. A study had shown that more people would buy products close to expiration if given a discount, leading to less food being thrown away by the store.
Nice. Stores around here do that primitavely, they do 'quick sale' discounts for food close to expiary. Once i bought 3 pavlova cakes for 3 dollars, 2 for my neibours and one for me to quarter eat and leave in the cupboard for a year then throw away, and it still looked good too lol.
I honestly don't see why grocery stores (in Florida in the US, at least) don't do markdowns for near-expiry foods more often. Maybe some number-crunching shows it ultimately decreases profit margins? But even if many people were to only buy close-to-expired food for the discount, wouldn't this just amount to price discrimination (not the kind of discrimination you're thinking of) and ultimately increase profits? In any case I've only ever seen like one or two stores do day-old bakery items discounted and nothing else. Which, for $0.75, I'm absolutely buying that day-old loaf of French Bread and figuring out what to do with it later.
Expiration dates in the food industry simply give an estimate of when the *optimum level of freshness has been surpassed.* In pharmaceuticals, it is quite different. *Warning: Do not ignore the expiry dates on condoms or medicines or chemicals.* Take bread, for example. Depending on how you store bread, it can last way longer or way shorter than the expiry day. But how do you tell it's spoilt? If it's moldy. Check your bread for signs of mold, that's how you know it's starting to spoil. With milk, you can know it's 'spoilt' by it's smell and taste. But you don't have to throw it away, you can use it to make fermented milk, hence why I put 'spoilt' in quotes because it's still usable. All you need to know here is *food preservation methods and how to tell when food goes bad,* and you're good to go.
To be fair, most condoms are expired due to the lubricant drying up. Making them a lot more prone to breaking if used in a "dry" situation. Lubing them up after expiration date will often revert the state. Unless they have been under solar exposure or stored in a relatively warm place. In that case, they would even expire before the expiration date.
what... No. The expiry date on most drugs is BS. With the exception of antibiotics and anti angina medications (Nitroglycerin) expiration date on pills is completely BS. This doesnt apply to other forms of drugs, like injections, ointments, etc.
@@peteremad1355 No, its not bs. Thermodynamics is a thing. Medicine expiration has 3 possible outcomes: 1, the composition doesnt change much, meaning the actual expiration is a bit later. 2. The chemicals used inside the medicine itself have cancelled the intended effect or 3. The chemicals inside the medicine have reacted to form a more dangerous substance. This is why you cannot ignore the expiration date. But not ignoring doesnt mean you should throw it out instantly, simply that you should investigate and be cautious. For example: In the case of condoms: often its the lubrication, check what kind of condom it is, if the lubrication potentially weakens the condom or if the condom simply dried out(meaning you need more lubrication). In the case of chemicals: check what kind of chemicals you're dealing with and what potential reactions(including reactions with air) can cause the substance to change.
@@Predated2 Well I am a doctor. I dont speak the language of thermodynamics rather that of evidence based medicine. Numerous papers have shown the the efficacy and potency of drugs is still in the 80-90% range after 40-50 years of the expiration date. Analgesics, antipyretics, anti diabetics (excluding insulin), steroids, narcotics and antispasmodics were in the included groups as per the criteria of each individual study. The exceptions to this is as follows: Nitroglycerin all drugs that are in solution or suspensiory forms eye and nose ointments, creams and drops the aforementioned groups should be utilized within 2 weeks of opening Anti- anginal drugs and antibiotics should be used before the printed expiry date Some drug groups has no evidence as to their expiry date effect on their potency due to insuffecient research till now no case of poisoning due to the use of expired drugs has been recorded
Talked to an expert about this (a literal food and nutrition teacher, she went to university to do food and nutrition) and she literally told me " Milk that's chunky is bad for you, it doesn't matter if all the bacteria was removed before, the chunks mean that bacteria has gotten into the milk."
Right, i took a sip of strawberry milk a few weeks ago and it was chunky. Immediately spat it back out into a sink and when I saw the exp. date, lo and behold it expired a month earlier
Pro-tip, if the eggs or milk aren't spoiled but don't taste good use them with other things Use milk for cakes(it "boils" in the process too if you are paranoid) or use the eggs to make a quiche Wasting food is bad, be smart like most moms
I've completely ignored the expiration dates on eggs my entire life. It's something that I learned from my European immigrant parents, where no one even refrigerate eggs. If you're starting to wonder if they're too old, just put them in a deep dish of water. If they stay at the bottom, they're totally fresh. If they stand up but don't float, they're older but not in any way bad. Those eggs make the best deviled eggs because they're so easy to peel. But if they float, it's because they've started to fill with the gases from decomposition. THOSE get tossed!
I check eggs that way too, but I use a mug and I put just a pinch of salt in the water. I use that method because expiration dates are too small on eggs for me to read, but generally expiration dates are accurate here in Italy (milk and beer are exeptions)
@@lizzleonard7256 It's important to refrigerate eggs in America. For some reason, we make our eggs go through a process that destroys the protective outer layer of eggs - they'll go bad quickly if they're not refrigerated here.
dat gnome but some food won’t smell bad or anything if it is bad. So that method isn’t effective. If it is, then so many people won’t get sick from food poisoning.
We have different ones in the UK; Best Before, Use By, Sell/Display By--the official NHS website states they're supposed to have all different meanings as well. The "use by" is on foods that will likely give you food poisoning, things like smoked fish for example. The "best before" is usually about quality, not safety. The "display/sell by" is as Adam states in this video--it's about stock control for the supermarkets. Most people think all of them mean the same. A lot of foods will also have instructions "use within (insert days) after opening". My grandparents were born before expiration dates were introduced, and had to grow as well as during, as well as deal with the post-WW2 financial crisis. So I, as well as my siblings and mother were taught to just use our senses to determine whether something was bad or not. We use potatoes until they're green, throw away bread when it starts getting fuzzy--a few examples.
That’s the same we have in America. Some label it as “best before”, others label it as “ sell before” others label it “expiration date” it’s not uniform. But throw away expired animal products. Don’t be an idiot like this dude
I always laugh when people throw cheese away based on "best by" dates. Cheese is basically food we spoil on purpose. Worst case scenario: you've got to scrape some mold of, but it is still edible!
Here in the EU, everything has to have a best before date (literally translated: minimum durability date). However, it doesn't tell you when you can't eat it anymore, it just tells you when the food doesn't have to fulfill the artributes advertised anymore (e. g. Color, taste, shape, etc.). This is partly to tell the people how long they can expect the food to be as expected, but mostly it is an insurance for the companies so that they can't be sued if the food is eatable, but not as advertised (Sorry for bad english)
there's just nearly everything labeled in the EU xD Alcoholic drinks with 10% or more alcohol in it won't have a best before label. Same goes for fresh fruits, veggies and sometimes salt.
The school where my grandma worked used to throw out the milk (remember those tiny little milk containers?) the day of the expiration date. God knows how much milk was wasted. My grandma got mad and started taking home what she could and freezing it. And that's the story of how my parents always had milk for us kids even though they didn't have much money, lol.
Am I the only one who had a poor family and so we ate anything that was not visibly bad like seriously I don't know anyone who actually listens to experiation dates and didn't just eat it on the date expired
I still do that, actually. Because I buy mostly produce, I had to learn the signs of spoilage for each food. And anything packaged that my family bought when I was younger could be eaten past the best before date as long as it didn't look or smell bad.
Yeah, I always considered expiration dates a recommendation. Milk was really the only thing we threw out, and that was only if it started to be gross. I didn't even know it was a thing to throw out food after the expiration date, Ive never heard of that before. I mean, it says "best by" as in it tastes best to eat it then, not "you will die if you don't eat it by"
That milk thing doesn't seem right. Yes, it was pasteurised, which killed most of the bacteria that were in it at the time, but once you've opened it and exposed it to air, it's been contaminated again, right?
When you keep it refrigerated well, even when it has been exposed to air, the growth of bacteria is so slow you probably won't have to worry about it. Although the risk of it going bad will rise after it's been opened, the risk is still minimal.
I'll normally just smell the milk because it's not going to taste great if it smells bad. Also, when there was an issue with my fridge the milk became lumpy within a day. Even if it's safe, I wasn't putting that in my tea. It stank. Absolutely agree with the video that you should trust yourself rather than the company's dates though.
I followed the source Adam listed and it says nothing about spoiled milk being safe to drink. It says you can drink milk after the expiration date, but not that smelly milk is okay to drink
The one about milk is defintaly true because at school they gave me milk that expire two years ago it almost made me barf because it tased bad but it didnt make me sick so ya unexpected results
ye but bread you cant tell. Mold only grows/shows when it is fully developed, so having spores of mold on your bread is possible. Thats why you shouldnt eat any bread for a month, and see if any mold has fully grown
Pasteurization kills the bacteria present in the milk at that point of time. It doesn't prevent it from getting infected later on. That would be absurd. Also, pasteurization doesn't kill spores.
Pasteurization doesn't kill all the bacteria, just almost all. That's why it still has to be refrigerated before opening, to prevent the bacteria from growing.
As mentioned in the video, once it's in your possession, it's up to you to mind its temp and minimize its exposure. As mentioned in the video, if not cared for correctly things can go bad before the date on the package.
Yeah, it's a problem with US meat in general. They feed animals antibiotics and wash the meat in chlorine, so bacteria tend to be hardened to begin with, and chlorine only causes them to hibernate rather than kill them. Hibernating bacteria do not multiply when cultured, but they can still be spread around a kitchen counter through contamination, and once the chlorine evaporates they wake up and continue on fresh surfaces... Some bacteria are so resistant that even dousing them in pure ethanol will not kill them.. you need extended periods of extreme heat and pressure (like an autoclave) to get rid of those buggers to the extend that they cannot overwhelm someone's immune system...
I doubt that drinking spoiled milk straight out of the box is safe. The backwash from your spit alone should reintroduce all sorts of organisms into the milk, pasteurized or not.
I worked in a chocolate factory and though the FDA didn't require us to have a "best by" date, the stores we had product in (Walgreens and Walmart) required us to get audited by third party companies to "certify" use to be eligible to be in their stores. That's probably why you always see food anywhere you buy have best by dates. Not because of the FDA but because of the stores themselves requiring it.
Which makes sense, if you are going to sell food that is going to spoil, wouldn't you want the manufacturer to supply when it is going to go bad (roughly)? Better for a store to throw month old food away, than getting caught selling food that is several months old. Also more often than not the packaging getting fucked up somehow will probably mean it will get thrown out, just like how you can eat bruised fruit just fine, but stores wont sell it.
I work in a restaurant and we are required to throw out any food past the sell by date. We don't request this, and it certainly doesn't make us any money. In fact, it loses us tons of money. However, we have to do it because of food sage standards set by the government. There is a good reason for sell by dates. They aren't just for profit; although that is some of it the main reason is good PR and not being shut down for low health standards.
@@MandMs05 The problem with this idea is that is doesn't give any solution other than people should be better. Of course if everyone was better, we wouldn't have those problems. But we're not. So the system must be adapted accordingly. Hence changing capitalism or destroying depending on political orientation. But definitely not being passive.
if the food is suppose to smell bad then don't eat it anyway. My nose has yet to lie, the most putrid of cheeses taste just as bad as they smells. Its a crime against humanity that people spend the time making this garbage infused mush. (this is obviously a personal preference, for some unknown reason people seem to like the taste)
This is before I watched the video so if he says this sorry Sell By means that the store will stop selling that shipment they got that day. Doesn’t mean it’s bad it just means it could be fresher. Best By means it’s best by. It’s not expired it’s just not as fresh as it was when you got it.
I worked as a bartender at both Madison Square Garden and Yankee Stadium. The hundreds of pounds of food that both venues threw away at the end of a every event absolutely broke my heart.
Now even drug dealers are in on this. I just bought a batch of heroin and the sell date was two days after the purchase didn’t use it quick enough so I tossed it out. Damn u regulators...
The heroin doesn't actually expire in it's solid form. It is the needles that you have to watch out for. The seal on the packaging breaks down over time and may lead to contamination. While you will still experience the same high as with a fresh needle, you may also contract AIDs or have excessive irritation at the injection site. Try to avoid scratching, as this can be mistaken for withdrawal.
Just cause it's been pasteurized doesn't mean that the slight backwash that got into the milk from your roommate drinking out of the carton behind your back isn't going to have an effect Bacteria has different phases, the exasperation date tells you when it is out of the lag phase...or should at least I think the point of the video is to point out the US is being weird compared to the rest of the world again... In the lag phase the bacteria doesn't grow and thus it isn't toxic to eat The log phase follows the lag phase and is the time in which the bacteria basically takes over the food. Some bacteria can release toxins that are harmful to you and thus the effected food become unsafe to eat
Depends on the food you attempt to eat. Meat, expired date, into the trash bin with it. Especially chicken stuff because of salmonellae. Other stuff like vegi, fruits, milk products, oversugared stuff - go for it, after smelling and watching carefully. Don't joke around with bread, btw. See one spot being spoiled, throw that also away.
Agreed with everything but meat. There are ways you can tell if meat is gone off and many times use by and expire dates lie. For chicken its slime or smell that is a dead give away. Also if you somehow cook the chicken without realising it is off, you can cut it to see the texture, it will feel very weird and different if it is. Also note (as the video said) that if stored incorrectly it could be dangerous even before use by dates.
This should be called "Adam Spoils Everything" If you drink from the milk carton, it will go bad faster and there is no telling what will start growing inside after it spoils. So really bad example by drinking out of the carton to prove that it is safe.
Fábio Rodrigues because bacteria in your mouth gets inside the carton, it starts expanding, which makes it go bad faster, this is also why even though spoiled milk is safe, sometimes bacteria is in it which makes it unsafe
prezadent1 1 after opening it.will go bad faster human mouth is pretty clean. 2 even if following your train of tought it would be contaminated after drinking , so when he drank its was good and what he was proving was that after the written date its still drinkable not that it wont go bad afterwards , obviously
Fábio Rodrigues you have a point there sir. Sure, an unopen carton of milk passed the expiration date could still be okay to consume, but in the video, it’s easy to be mislead that ALL expired milk are okay to consume passed it’s expiration date, not just the unopened ones as you might have meant. Also, human mouth is not “clean”, there’s lots of bacteria in our mouth that could grow on it’s own outside from our mouth, hence creating a culture of nastiness.
You have mayo lost in the back of the fridge for 5 years then someone else pulls it to the front of the fridge and then you eat it and have horrid poop for the next several weeks.
I don't normally drink milk, But some time back I did an experiment. I bought a half gallon just to test a theory. I shook it up every day really good. After three weeks, it stilled tasted as fresh as day 1. In your face. best buy dates.
3:38 I can confirm this. I used to work for a supermarket and he's right. The sell by date is just when the stores have to sell them by before we toss them.
Hi (I apologize, for my experiences and skills in usage of the English language are currently not in an appropriate level when compared to other human-beings taking part in the community)
Liz T you dont seem to understand the context here people start counting from sell by as some food have different expiry dates after you open the packaging
Ah we have someone using their common sense here, that great! Indeed sell and eat are 2 very different words. The problem is humans in general are stupid. Hence why many of them continue to believe a random date on their food determines its quality, instead of actually looking to see if its good/bad. Common sense isn't common, and that's a statistical fact.
It's got nothing to do with stupidity. If, for example, you're a regular working parent and you don't want to feed your child something that's spoiled or could do harm, what's stupid about checking the "sell by", "use by", "[x] by" dates to make sure? You're really going to call people who are cautious about the dates on their products retarded? And many people have been told their whole lives not to eat something past the listed date. Since its the only indication most people have, it makes perfect sense why they would go by it.
Or unless you know it lasts for a long time. Whenever I have to move, the first thing I do is stocking up on lentils, pasta, canned food, honey... I know it's unlikely that they'll expire before I get to eat them and it really helps to have food in the pantry when you don't have much time to shop for groceries.

...Please don't. It's not designed to inform, It's designed to entertain and make money. There is a huge difference between this and actual educational shows.
Ani the arctic fox It's not exactly that he is wrong, He just presents information poorly. For example, He completely avoids the fact that there is "Sell by date" and "Expiration/Used by date." Sell by date is when the store has to sell it by. Drinking it past that date isn't an issue. The expiration/used by date on the other hand is the date it is no longer safe to consume. Drinking expired milk can not only give you food poisoning and make you sick but although most types of bacteria are killed by heat when milk is pasteurised bacteria can easily get in after it has been opened. Not a problem if the milk is fresh, If it is expired it is very bad.
I remember from my beekeeping classes, that when selling our honey it's recommended to just put the next year as the use-by date, but honey famously could be eaten after 3000 years (In 2015 an Egyptian tomb was found to have honey still edible)
Honey has antibacterial properties although some spore forming bacteria (like clostridium) can persist which is why honey shouldn’t be given to infants
When I was in school I used to have an IQ of 15. My classmates used to harass me for not being that smart. But since 2013, my life has changed. My IQ is now 195 and it increases by 5 every time I sit down on Saturday nights to watch this one show. It is called Rick and Morty. Because of that, I get all the girls and people are always comparing me to Albert Einstein, some even say that I am the cure for cancer. When the government found out that I watch Rick and Morty, they showed up to my residence and took me to a secret facility to take an exam. The exam was about explaining all the jokes in Rick and Morty and I had to answer each question in all currently spoken languages. Since I watched Rick and Morty, I didn't have any problems and I completed it in 30 minutes. The next day, I got to see the results and I passed the exam with a score of 100%. They gave me the title "Smartest Man in Existence". Guess I am out of this world.

Actually, he doesn't have factual evidence. I looked at the source he gave for milk. It says milk is fine after the expiration date if it hasn't spoiled, but makes no claim that spoiled smelly milk is safe to drink
because roosters are more commonly used for meat. Chickens are birds so the males and females have as much breast meat as each other (don't breast feed their young) so you can get just as much meat from both but you can also get eggs from hens so you're more likely to keep your hens alive to harvest the eggs
2:05, that's weirdly accurate to how some Americans would react to expiry date regulation. Which is kinda wild to me, because a label saying "dangerous to use after X date" doesn't actually impose on your freedom to eat it past that point...
Okay, to clarify. Pasteurizing doesn’t clean out all the bacteria, it kills them however the spores remain so after a while new ones will form, thus milk can go very bad. Also once it’s opened new bacteria can get in there. The egg facts don’t apply to washed eggs (most eggs in the USA) and to top it all of vegetables require a humid environment not necessarily a cold one. Moral of the story, wanna know if your food is still good to eat? Smell it and look at it. The human nose can detect incredibly small amounts of fungus. And most fungi are visible, bacteria die off completely at 100 degrees celsius so anything you cook will probably be fine. (Apart from toxic waste, but smell yo damn food and you’ll know)
Exactly there is a UA-cam video of somebody who is blindfolded told he was drinking milk (which was actually orange juice) and threw up because he couldent recognize the taste and he wasn’t allergic to oj either
But obviously a lot of Americans don't realise that's what it means and just throw it out under the misapprehension that it is unsafe to eat. Come on dude.
Actually if milk has gone little sour you shouldnt per say drink it, but you should DEF cook with it! Baking producs and sauces gets heated so it kills any bacteria that might have contaminated the milk.
Yes opening it can do this but if its unopened its fine and as long as you dont keep it out too long new bacteria and other things wont affect it that much as long as temperature and regulations are kept good
Even closed I have opened milk cartons that went bad when opened, due to bad sealing. And unless you properly check if the cartons sealing was fine, theres always that chance. Thats why I usually sake it like crazy and check the openin for any sort of leakage b4 buying it, and then smell it once I arrive home and open and poor it in a glass.Cant be too careful .-.

If you've worked at a major grocery store for a couple months or years, you're already deadened to this fact. I worked at Kroger for several years and the sheer amount of food thrown out every day was flabbergasting. I remember throwing away over 100 packages of 1lb strawberries in a single day because the freshness wasn't up to standards. This is just one of many instances where large amounts of perfectly fine food was tossed. But it makes sense, at least from a business perspective. We don't have the man hours to mark down, sift through and separate food, have a properly dedicated space for the amount accumulated, etc. And there were plenty of us that tried and had good intentions, but, like I said, the hours just didn't allow for it, so huge piles of food would wind up stacked in the prep room with the intention to mark down but eventually just rot and get tossed. If you shop at a marketplace Kroger, just remind yourself that these people are working very hard and not making nearly enough and have near impossible standards set by their bosses and receive no recognition for their hard work every day, and without these workers, as you saw during covid, it's very difficult to find food reliably. Sure, there are loafers, but that's everywhere, but that food doesn't just magically end up on the tables or wet rack, it's heavy, it's time consuming to stack, it's fast paced, it's freezing cold and wet, it's mins numbing prep work, and it's exhausting. And that's not even mentioning dealing with customers, which takes it to a whole new level.
I always check my local Kroeger's reduced to clear meat produce deli and bakery sections for good buys. Consistently better selection and price than the Safeway/Albertsons near me.
(Meric) There is one thing that I don't understand. Why did you write "no"? Also, it will not necessarily be better at that date than at an earlier date. It really depends on the product.
@1:55 Pasteurised milk might also go bad, because the process gets rid of bacteria but in rare case the spores might remain as they are pretty resistant to heat etc. If the carton appears inflated just throw it away.
I know that. But the most serious mistake I made was that I used an egg that was best before 2 months... You will never want to know how the cooked egg tasted...
Pretty much every perishable food item in your fridge just needs to pass the smell test. If there's enough bacteria living on it to create an odor, don't eat it Eggs have an easy test by just submerging them in water
Yeah, I'd argue that losing your sense of smell is one of the worst side effects of COVID, because you lose the natural ability to detect food safety. They ought to do a study on food poisoning rates after COVID.

Stores are even worse. They will throw away food just because the container is dented. The food is still fine but it just doesn't look perfect. Buy the slightly messed up food.
i work at a grocery store bakery and i really wish customers would understand this because a lot of the stuff we makes has a “shelf life” of just a couple days and they always think that means it’s trash after that day but i literally made that like 2 days ago... it’s still fine.
Spoiled milk may not be harmful to you, but I'm really sensitive to that smell. If it even barely starts to go bad, I nearly throw up. If I tried to drink it, I definitely would.
your nose and tastebuds don't digest food. the only reason you won't drink it is cause you THINK you are sensitive to it. if you smelled spoiled milk for your entire life, is it called spoiled? or just called milk? fool
most of the population is lactose intolerant in the first place, and you are being told that milk is good for your health when it isn't, so what do you expect to feel good about it? It's obvious you are lactose intolerant since you can't stomach it when it starts to turn. Your body knows best.
Pasturization doesn't mean much once the milk has been opened. Once it's been exposed to air, it can be colonized by any bacteria or fungal spores in the air
To be fair, he said virtually zero. Which is true, not many kitchens have bacterial or fungal spores in the brief moments their milk carton is opened.
Also the packaging (ie Tetra Brick) has a expiry time when the material degradation makes it not bacteria-tight anymore, allowing external bacteria to enter and spoil the food.
Just pierce a pack of milk with a needle and wait one week... It will get all bloated and when you open it you will feel it's not very safe to drink ..

Don't know if that worked, but approximately 50% of everything I buy is close to expiring, mostly because it's so cheap where I live.
I honestly don't see why grocery stores (in Florida in the US, at least) don't do markdowns for near-expiry foods more often. Maybe some number-crunching shows it ultimately decreases profit margins? But even if many people were to only buy close-to-expired food for the discount, wouldn't this just amount to price discrimination (not the kind of discrimination you're thinking of) and ultimately increase profits? In any case I've only ever seen like one or two stores do day-old bakery items discounted and nothing else. Which, for $0.75, I'm absolutely buying that day-old loaf of French Bread and figuring out what to do with it later.
in that guys defense, if my yogurt was talking to me id throw it away too.

Expiration dates in the food industry simply give an estimate of when the *optimum level of freshness has been surpassed.* In pharmaceuticals, it is quite different. *Warning: Do not ignore the expiry dates on condoms or medicines or chemicals.*
Take bread, for example. Depending on how you store bread, it can last way longer or way shorter than the expiry day. But how do you tell it's spoilt? If it's moldy. Check your bread for signs of mold, that's how you know it's starting to spoil. With milk, you can know it's 'spoilt' by it's smell and taste. But you don't have to throw it away, you can use it to make fermented milk, hence why I put 'spoilt' in quotes because it's still usable. All you need to know here is *food preservation methods and how to tell when food goes bad,* and you're good to go.
To be fair, most condoms are expired due to the lubricant drying up. Making them a lot more prone to breaking if used in a "dry" situation. Lubing them up after expiration date will often revert the state. Unless they have been under solar exposure or stored in a relatively warm place. In that case, they would even expire before the expiration date.
what... No.
The expiry date on most drugs is BS. With the exception of antibiotics and anti angina medications (Nitroglycerin) expiration date on pills is completely BS.
This doesnt apply to other forms of drugs, like injections, ointments, etc.
@@peteremad1355 No, its not bs. Thermodynamics is a thing. Medicine expiration has 3 possible outcomes: 1, the composition doesnt change much, meaning the actual expiration is a bit later. 2. The chemicals used inside the medicine itself have cancelled the intended effect or 3. The chemicals inside the medicine have reacted to form a more dangerous substance. This is why you cannot ignore the expiration date. But not ignoring doesnt mean you should throw it out instantly, simply that you should investigate and be cautious. For example:
In the case of condoms: often its the lubrication, check what kind of condom it is, if the lubrication potentially weakens the condom or if the condom simply dried out(meaning you need more lubrication). In the case of chemicals: check what kind of chemicals you're dealing with and what potential reactions(including reactions with air) can cause the substance to change.
@@Predated2 Well I am a doctor. I dont speak the language of thermodynamics rather that of evidence based medicine.
Numerous papers have shown the the efficacy and potency of drugs is still in the 80-90% range after 40-50 years of the expiration date.
Analgesics, antipyretics, anti diabetics (excluding insulin), steroids, narcotics and antispasmodics were in the included groups as per the criteria of each individual study.
The exceptions to this is as follows:
Nitroglycerin
all drugs that are in solution or suspensiory forms
eye and nose ointments, creams and drops
the aforementioned groups should be utilized within 2 weeks of opening
Anti- anginal drugs and antibiotics should be used before the printed expiry date
Some drug groups has no evidence as to their expiry date effect on their potency due to insuffecient research
till now no case of poisoning due to the use of expired drugs has been recorded

Talked to an expert about this (a literal food and nutrition teacher, she went to university to do food and nutrition) and she literally told me " Milk that's chunky is bad for you, it doesn't matter if all the bacteria was removed before, the chunks mean that bacteria has gotten into the milk."
chunky.
@@isaacisaac609 funky
Yeah I can’t believe they missed that one, it’s not pasteurized anymore as soon as you open it
Right, i took a sip of strawberry milk a few weeks ago and it was chunky. Immediately spat it back out into a sink and when I saw the exp. date, lo and behold it expired a month earlier

Pro-tip, if the eggs or milk aren't spoiled but don't taste good use them with other things
Use milk for cakes(it "boils" in the process too if you are paranoid) or use the eggs to make a quiche
Wasting food is bad, be smart like most moms
I've completely ignored the expiration dates on eggs my entire life. It's something that I learned from my European immigrant parents, where no one even refrigerate eggs. If you're starting to wonder if they're too old, just put them in a deep dish of water. If they stay at the bottom, they're totally fresh. If they stand up but don't float, they're older but not in any way bad. Those eggs make the best deviled eggs because they're so easy to peel. But if they float, it's because they've started to fill with the gases from decomposition. THOSE get tossed!
I check eggs that way too, but I use a mug and I put just a pinch of salt in the water. I use that method because expiration dates are too small on eggs for me to read, but generally expiration dates are accurate here in Italy (milk and beer are exeptions)
@@lizzleonard7256 It's important to refrigerate eggs in America. For some reason, we make our eggs go through a process that destroys the protective outer layer of eggs - they'll go bad quickly if they're not refrigerated here.
I always ignore the expiration dates on eggs
@@pasteleptic that's new to me (not an American) - any idea of why are they doing it then?
It's called... "The smell test"
dat gnome but some food won’t smell bad or anything if it is bad. So that method isn’t effective. If it is, then so many people won’t get sick from food poisoning.

In Canada we have “BEST BEFORE”
Damn ok I said this because she said “best by” not “best before
In america too
That's what he's talking about. We have it in the UK too.
We have different ones in the UK; Best Before, Use By, Sell/Display By--the official NHS website states they're supposed to have all different meanings as well.
The "use by" is on foods that will likely give you food poisoning, things like smoked fish for example. The "best before" is usually about quality, not safety. The "display/sell by" is as Adam states in this video--it's about stock control for the supermarkets. Most people think all of them mean the same. A lot of foods will also have instructions "use within (insert days) after opening".
My grandparents were born before expiration dates were introduced, and had to grow as well as during, as well as deal with the post-WW2 financial crisis. So I, as well as my siblings and mother were taught to just use our senses to determine whether something was bad or not. We use potatoes until they're green, throw away bread when it starts getting fuzzy--a few examples.
That’s the same we have in America. Some label it as “best before”, others label it as “ sell before” others label it “expiration date” it’s not uniform. But throw away expired animal products. Don’t be an idiot like this dude
Yes we do
I knew it was a lie. I’ve always eaten out of date yogurt perfectly fine.
That's why you always look and smell.
If it looks bad and smells bad then it's bad.
If it looks good, smell good and taste good then it's good.
I always laugh when people throw cheese away based on "best by" dates. Cheese is basically food we spoil on purpose. Worst case scenario: you've got to scrape some mold of, but it is still edible!
Rob Johns patient 0 please take a seat
Rob Johns no wonder you're writing multiple comments tryna get publicity, it's all that fucked up yogurt that's made you this way
yup if you cant see mold your good XD
Here in the EU, everything has to have a best before date (literally translated: minimum durability date). However, it doesn't tell you when you can't eat it anymore, it just tells you when the food doesn't have to fulfill the artributes advertised anymore (e. g. Color, taste, shape, etc.). This is partly to tell the people how long they can expect the food to be as expected, but mostly it is an insurance for the companies so that they can't be sued if the food is eatable, but not as advertised
(Sorry for bad english)
Yup, lawyers are the real reason for "best before" dates!
also, some products like processed meat, fish has a "to be used before..." date. After this date you HAVE to throw it away
Torys Account in greece it says it will spoil at this date
Torys Account wow your english was actually spot on as far as i can see
there's just nearly everything labeled in the EU xD Alcoholic drinks with 10% or more alcohol in it won't have a best before label. Same goes for fresh fruits, veggies and sometimes salt.
The school where my grandma worked used to throw out the milk (remember those tiny little milk containers?) the day of the expiration date. God knows how much milk was wasted. My grandma got mad and started taking home what she could and freezing it. And that's the story of how my parents always had milk for us kids even though they didn't have much money, lol.
That "I'm going bad" gag is my favourite thing out of this whole show.
Your pfp is adorable!
It was HILARIOUS 😆
Am I the only one who had a poor family and so we ate anything that was not visibly bad like seriously I don't know anyone who actually listens to experiation dates and didn't just eat it on the date expired
I still do that, actually. Because I buy mostly produce, I had to learn the signs of spoilage for each food. And anything packaged that my family bought when I was younger could be eaten past the best before date as long as it didn't look or smell bad.
Yeah, I always considered expiration dates a recommendation. Milk was really the only thing we threw out, and that was only if it started to be gross. I didn't even know it was a thing to throw out food after the expiration date, Ive never heard of that before. I mean, it says "best by" as in it tastes best to eat it then, not "you will die if you don't eat it by"
Pascal Denis thought it was common sense if it looks good and doesn't smell bad then it's good
Pascal Denis Nope
It’s not about being poor. It’s about having common sense.
That milk thing doesn't seem right. Yes, it was pasteurised, which killed most of the bacteria that were in it at the time, but once you've opened it and exposed it to air, it's been contaminated again, right?
When you keep it refrigerated well, even when it has been exposed to air, the growth of bacteria is so slow you probably won't have to worry about it. Although the risk of it going bad will rise after it's been opened, the risk is still minimal.
Nope
Nope, it's right especially with milk replacements such as soy or almond milk
I'll normally just smell the milk because it's not going to taste great if it smells bad. Also, when there was an issue with my fridge the milk became lumpy within a day. Even if it's safe, I wasn't putting that in my tea. It stank.
Absolutely agree with the video that you should trust yourself rather than the company's dates though.
I followed the source Adam listed and it says nothing about spoiled milk being safe to drink. It says you can drink milk after the expiration date, but not that smelly milk is okay to drink
The one about milk is defintaly true because at school they gave me milk that expire two years ago it almost made me barf because it tased bad but it didnt make me sick so ya unexpected results
Yea

You can usually tell whether something is off by its smell or texture. Deli meats, for instance, are usually bad if their texture is slimy and sticky.
ye but bread you cant tell. Mold only grows/shows when it is fully developed, so having spores of mold on your bread is possible. Thats why you shouldnt eat any bread for a month, and see if any mold has fully grown
@@steelpump100 Bread mold is completely harmless
@@ThatWeirdo04 depends on the type
Pasteurization kills the bacteria present in the milk at that point of time. It doesn't prevent it from getting infected later on. That would be absurd. Also, pasteurization doesn't kill spores.
Pasteurization also kills a lot of good bacteria, as well as important nutrients.
Pasteurization doesn't kill all the bacteria, just almost all. That's why it still has to be refrigerated before opening, to prevent the bacteria from growing.
As mentioned in the video, once it's in your possession, it's up to you to mind its temp and minimize its exposure. As mentioned in the video, if not cared for correctly things can go bad before the date on the package.
Simboiss Also most companies actually ADD good bacteria into they're dairy products
Tushar Chandra yeah and it doesn’t kill Adams mouth germs before she puts her milk back in her fridge
As corny as it intentionally was, I legit laughed out loud when the chicken went "bad." I'm so lame. Ha
You weren’t the only one I’m STILL laughing 😅🤣😂😂😂
I thought it was genius lol
Yeah, it's a problem with US meat in general. They feed animals antibiotics and wash the meat in chlorine, so bacteria tend to be hardened to begin with, and chlorine only causes them to hibernate rather than kill them. Hibernating bacteria do not multiply when cultured, but they can still be spread around a kitchen counter through contamination, and once the chlorine evaporates they wake up and continue on fresh surfaces...
Some bacteria are so resistant that even dousing them in pure ethanol will not kill them.. you need extended periods of extreme heat and pressure (like an autoclave) to get rid of those buggers to the extend that they cannot overwhelm someone's immune system...

I worked in a chocolate factory and though the FDA didn't require us to have a "best by" date, the stores we had product in (Walgreens and Walmart) required us to get audited by third party companies to "certify" use to be eligible to be in their stores. That's probably why you always see food anywhere you buy have best by dates. Not because of the FDA but because of the stores themselves requiring it.
Which makes sense, if you are going to sell food that is going to spoil, wouldn't you want the manufacturer to supply when it is going to go bad (roughly)? Better for a store to throw month old food away, than getting caught selling food that is several months old.
Also more often than not the packaging getting fucked up somehow will probably mean it will get thrown out, just like how you can eat bruised fruit just fine, but stores wont sell it.
I work in a restaurant and we are required to throw out any food past the sell by date. We don't request this, and it certainly doesn't make us any money. In fact, it loses us tons of money. However, we have to do it because of food sage standards set by the government. There is a good reason for sell by dates. They aren't just for profit; although that is some of it the main reason is good PR and not being shut down for low health standards.

Sell By means that the store will stop selling that shipment they got that day. Doesn’t mean it’s bad it just means it could be fresher.
Best By means it’s best by. It’s not expired it’s just not as fresh as it was when you got it.

The heroin doesn't actually expire in it's solid form. It is the needles that you have to watch out for. The seal on the packaging breaks down over time and may lead to contamination. While you will still experience the same high as with a fresh needle, you may also contract AIDs or have excessive irritation at the injection site. Try to avoid scratching, as this can be mistaken for withdrawal.

Bacteria has different phases, the exasperation date tells you when it is out of the lag phase...or should at least I think the point of the video is to point out the US is being weird compared to the rest of the world again...
In the lag phase the bacteria doesn't grow and thus it isn't toxic to eat
The log phase follows the lag phase and is the time in which the bacteria basically takes over the food. Some bacteria can release toxins that are harmful to you and thus the effected food become unsafe to eat
Yep...

Be careful
Depends on the food you attempt to eat. Meat, expired date, into the trash bin with it. Especially chicken stuff because of salmonellae.
Other stuff like vegi, fruits, milk products, oversugared stuff - go for it, after smelling and watching carefully.
Don't joke around with bread, btw. See one spot being spoiled, throw that also away.
Agreed with everything but meat. There are ways you can tell if meat is gone off and many times use by and expire dates lie. For chicken its slime or smell that is a dead give away. Also if you somehow cook the chicken without realising it is off, you can cut it to see the texture, it will feel very weird and different if it is. Also note (as the video said) that if stored incorrectly it could be dangerous even before use by dates.
Only when you get up at 6 AM to go to a food pantry, only then will you know that expiration dates are meaningless.
This should be called "Adam Spoils Everything"
If you drink from the milk carton, it will go bad faster and there is no telling what will start growing inside after it spoils. So really bad example by drinking out of the carton to prove that it is safe.
Why does it go bad fastrr
Fábio Rodrigues because bacteria in your mouth gets inside the carton, it starts expanding, which makes it go bad faster, this is also why even though spoiled milk is safe, sometimes bacteria is in it which makes it unsafe
See why doesnt this comment have more likes
prezadent1 1 after opening it.will go bad faster human mouth is pretty clean.
2 even if following your train of tought it would be contaminated after drinking , so when he drank its was good and what he was proving was that after the written date its still drinkable not that it wont go bad afterwards , obviously
Fábio Rodrigues you have a point there sir. Sure, an unopen carton of milk passed the expiration date could still be okay to consume, but in the video, it’s easy to be mislead that ALL expired milk are okay to consume passed it’s expiration date, not just the unopened ones as you might have meant. Also, human mouth is not “clean”, there’s lots of bacteria in our mouth that could grow on it’s own outside from our mouth, hence creating a culture of nastiness.

Liz T you dont seem to understand the context here
people start counting from sell by as some food have different expiry dates after you open the packaging
Its a "duh" for some of us, but sadly a lot of people take that sell by date as a definite "don't eat after this date!".
Americans and their retardation you know
Ah we have someone using their common sense here, that great! Indeed sell and eat are 2 very different words. The problem is humans in general are stupid. Hence why many of them continue to believe a random date on their food determines its quality, instead of actually looking to see if its good/bad. Common sense isn't common, and that's a statistical fact.
It's got nothing to do with stupidity. If, for example, you're a regular working parent and you don't want to feed your child something that's spoiled or could do harm, what's stupid about checking the "sell by", "use by", "[x] by" dates to make sure? You're really going to call people who are cautious about the dates on their products retarded? And many people have been told their whole lives not to eat something past the listed date. Since its the only indication most people have, it makes perfect sense why they would go by it.
Easy solution don't buy shit unless you plan on eating it soon.
yep. planning meals and buying only what you are likely to use before it goes bad is a long lost skill.

Or unless you know it lasts for a long time. Whenever I have to move, the first thing I do is stocking up on lentils, pasta, canned food, honey...

Me Cooper so none of this true?
Ani the arctic fox furry piece of shit
Ani the arctic fox It's not exactly that he is wrong, He just presents information poorly.
For example, He completely avoids the fact that there is "Sell by date" and "Expiration/Used by date."
Sell by date is when the store has to sell it by. Drinking it past that date isn't an issue.
The expiration/used by date on the other hand is the date it is no longer safe to consume.
Drinking expired milk can not only give you food poisoning and make you sick but although most types of bacteria are killed by heat when milk is pasteurised bacteria can easily get in after it has been opened. Not a problem if the milk is fresh, If it is expired it is very bad.
Me Cooper true, but at least it’s shows like these that open our eyes to the fact that there are problems with the system.
I remember from my beekeeping classes, that when selling our honey it's recommended to just put the next year as the use-by date, but honey famously could be eaten after 3000 years (In 2015 an Egyptian tomb was found to have honey still edible)
Honey has antibacterial properties although some spore forming bacteria (like clostridium) can persist which is why honey shouldn’t be given to infants

Because of that, I get all the girls and people are always comparing me to Albert Einstein, some even say that I am the cure for cancer. When the government found out that I watch Rick and Morty, they showed up to my residence and took me to a secret facility to take an exam. The exam was about explaining all the jokes in Rick and Morty and I had to answer each question in all currently spoken languages. Since I watched Rick and Morty, I didn't have any problems and I completed it in 30 minutes. The next day, I got to see the results and I passed the exam with a score of 100%. They gave me the title "Smartest Man in Existence". Guess I am out of this world.

Erica Riley maybe because he likes chicken breasts 😉 Who knows?
Packaging doesn't have to make sense, you know...
maybe they don't use chickens but roosters ?:DD
because roosters are more commonly used for meat. Chickens are birds so the males and females have as much breast meat as each other (don't breast feed their young) so you can get just as much meat from both but you can also get eggs from hens so you're more likely to keep your hens alive to harvest the eggs
Maybe because they come from a rooster
Never stop making these videos! I love this show
2:05, that's weirdly accurate to how some Americans would react to expiry date regulation. Which is kinda wild to me, because a label saying "dangerous to use after X date" doesn't actually impose on your freedom to eat it past that point...
I'm not sure I feel ruined so much as... informed.
That's kind of all of the Adam Ruins Whatever videos tho.
Sometimes the thing that is "ruined" is something bad such as, in this case, food going bad.
This one ruined it the most for me, I always look at those dates
Simple fix:
Best by: today
Edible by: 2 weeks
True
Is that because after it's bought, it only lasts for two weeks before it's eaten up?
Okay, to clarify. Pasteurizing doesn’t clean out all the bacteria, it kills them however the spores remain so after a while new ones will form, thus milk can go very bad. Also once it’s opened new bacteria can get in there. The egg facts don’t apply to washed eggs (most eggs in the USA) and to top it all of vegetables require a humid environment not necessarily a cold one. Moral of the story, wanna know if your food is still good to eat? Smell it and look at it. The human nose can detect incredibly small amounts of fungus. And most fungi are visible, bacteria die off completely at 100 degrees celsius so anything you cook will probably be fine. (Apart from toxic waste, but smell yo damn food and you’ll know)
I drank some old OJ. Tasted like a mimosa, got sick for a week... 🤢🤢🤢
I think you wasn't paying attention when he mentioned to notice the difference in smell and taste.
AsianGlow I found some spoiled milk. I drank it, and due to both pasturization and my SWAT-level immune system, I was fine.
@@loganreads90 and I had diarrhea, actually I have it right now because of it
My OJ cut his wife's head off.
Are you sure it was O.J. and not Cointreau or Triple Sec?
i drank milk that was supposed to expire December 3rd, 2017.
it was expired before then.
i drank it on November 17th.
I THREW UP
That's doesn't necessarily mean it's contaminated, you can consume any food and still through up no matter how fresh it is
Exactly there is a UA-cam video of somebody who is blindfolded told he was drinking milk (which was actually orange juice) and threw up because he couldent recognize the taste and he wasn’t allergic to oj either
Dylan Manese nope I'm not it just tasted *bad*
Is milk supposed to have that long of an expiry date?
Hey It's Ava probably cause it tasted gross
My grandma had some salad dressing that expired in 1998. Is that still ok to eat?
William Kennedy sure. If it’s oil and vinegar based.
Possibly. Just taste it and let us know.
You alive bro?
William Kennedy Maybe?
No
The worst has to be the guarded dumpsters full of good food.
Wait, Adam, are you telling me that the BEST BY means when the manufacturer thinks the food is BEST BY? WoW yOu ReAlLy ShOcKeD mE ADaM.
But obviously a lot of Americans don't realise that's what it means and just throw it out under the misapprehension that it is unsafe to eat. Come on dude.
youd be surprised how stuoid people can be
Lets just send our rotten milk to adam then, he seems cool with it.
This is a great plan, anyone got an adress?
Or send it to Ashens. He'll eat a thousand year old egg or a canned full body chicken because his subscribers sent him one too eat. Poor guy...
Or make cheese with it

Actually if milk has gone little sour you shouldnt per say drink it, but you should DEF cook with it! Baking producs and sauces gets heated so it kills any bacteria that might have contaminated the milk.
Although milk is pasteurised, you can't be sure that bacteria and stuff don't get introduced once it's opened...
Yes opening it can do this but if its unopened its fine and as long as you dont keep it out too long new bacteria and other things wont affect it that much as long as temperature and regulations are kept good
Even closed I have opened milk cartons that went bad when opened, due to bad sealing. And unless you properly check if the cartons sealing was fine, theres always that chance. Thats why I usually sake it like crazy and check the openin for any sort of leakage b4 buying it, and then smell it once I arrive home and open and poor it in a glass.Cant be too careful .-.
Anything: Exists
Adam: I'm about to *correct* this mans whole career
Eat old food mmm mmm good.
I drink old milk on purpose. Old milk makes people stay younger. .. Many Eastern Europeans wait for milk to turn sour before drinking it. And bad milk was drank by the strong soldiers that conquered Asia and eastern Europe. The soldiers loved it. And it's still drunk in Mongolia. where it's sold in a bottle but it is not the traditional old milk
Buzz LightBeer that's stupid
ya ya ya I drink sour milk because tons of research supports that it makes you stay younger!

Unicorn, bad milk makes you smarter, stronger and lowers blood pressure. " _Lactobacillus helveticus-fermented milk improves learning and memory_ " sciencedirect website. ...Helveticus bacteria is sold by Amazon. It's added to milk to sour it. Read online how to do it. ... There are many types of lactobacillus bacteria. Studies show that Helveticus had a lot of good health benefits
I love Adam's know-it-all nerd attitude!
It's one of the better things in life.
The manufacturer won't take responsibility if you consume the food past expiration dates
They do not take responsibility anyway. Try again.
If you've worked at a major grocery store for a couple months or years, you're already deadened to this fact. I worked at Kroger for several years and the sheer amount of food thrown out every day was flabbergasting. I remember throwing away over 100 packages of 1lb strawberries in a single day because the freshness wasn't up to standards. This is just one of many instances where large amounts of perfectly fine food was tossed.
But it makes sense, at least from a business perspective. We don't have the man hours to mark down, sift through and separate food, have a properly dedicated space for the amount accumulated, etc. And there were plenty of us that tried and had good intentions, but, like I said, the hours just didn't allow for it, so huge piles of food would wind up stacked in the prep room with the intention to mark down but eventually just rot and get tossed.
If you shop at a marketplace Kroger, just remind yourself that these people are working very hard and not making nearly enough and have near impossible standards set by their bosses and receive no recognition for their hard work every day, and without these workers, as you saw during covid, it's very difficult to find food reliably.
Sure, there are loafers, but that's everywhere, but that food doesn't just magically end up on the tables or wet rack, it's heavy, it's time consuming to stack, it's fast paced, it's freezing cold and wet, it's mins numbing prep work, and it's exhausting. And that's not even mentioning dealing with customers, which takes it to a whole new level.
I always check my local Kroeger's reduced to clear meat produce deli and bakery sections for good buys. Consistently better selection and price than the Safeway/Albertsons near me.
The title is a lie. Based on the content of the video, expiration dates mean exactly what I thought.
JustusLM No, Best buy means it's best at that date afterwards it might not be as amazing, but it's safe
(Meric) There is one thing that I don't understand. Why did you write "no"?
Also, it will not necessarily be better at that date than at an earlier date. It really depends on the product.

JustusLM yeah just Best Buy use by and sell buy
In the UK, it is illegal to eat mince pies on Christmas day
Freddy Schwoerer sub me
Are you kidding?
Yes he's kidding
Freddy Schwoerer one day I will go to the U.K. and I'm gonna eat 10 mince pies on Christmas, that'll teach them, mwahahahahaha!
i dont know if its true or a common myth, but they certainly were at one point dunno about now
@1:55 Pasteurised milk might also go bad, because the process gets rid of bacteria but in rare case the spores might remain as they are pretty resistant to heat etc.
If the carton appears inflated just throw it away.
If it's inflated, that means it's producing fermented gas from spoilage.
That makes sense because the expiration date on my bread said November 2 and it's November 9 and the surprising part is the bread didn't.
I drank some milk 3 weeks after expiration, it was also never in the fridge. I got sick.
You get sick from anything, and some comments say otherwise, and you can always find another use for "expired foods"
If it was never in the fridge, then it wasn’t handled properly.
Idiot lol
You are a brave person, On the expiration DAY I wouldn’t even touch a sealed milk carton that has been refrigerated since it was bought.
I know that. But the most serious mistake I made was that I used an egg that was best before 2 months... You will never want to know how the cooked egg tasted...
I bought 240 eggs on sale with best before 3 days later. Kept it in the fridge and used the last one 3 months later, still good
when they say “best by” i keep thinking of the store Best Buy 😂
Pretty much every perishable food item in your fridge just needs to pass the smell test. If there's enough bacteria living on it to create an odor, don't eat it
Eggs have an easy test by just submerging them in water
Yeah, I'd argue that losing your sense of smell is one of the worst side effects of COVID, because you lose the natural ability to detect food safety. They ought to do a study on food poisoning rates after COVID.
im *never* going to throw away a bag of chips
Even if some barfed in it?

@@jakethom2968 Can you blame me?! Look at her!😭
Stores are even worse. They will throw away food just because the container is dented. The food is still fine but it just doesn't look perfect. Buy the slightly messed up food.

wait a minute. did you. YOU SON OF A BI-
I was drinking outdated milk while watching this 😂😂
I thought that was James Corden from the thumbnail lmao 😂
anotherone10 lol same
Adam does look like him😰
I work in a grocery store. The amount of good food that gets thrown out is amazing
I always knew it was a lie, I've been eating black peaches for years.
...........Wait, What?
If the food doesn't have mold or smell bad, eat it.
I ate cheese that went by expiration date by 2 months. The cheese was just hard to seperate
To be fair, some foods just taste like that and smell like it too
Exactly!
Eucalyptus leaf salad, here we come!
I have become addicted to using this series to tell people how wrong they are.
i work at a grocery store bakery and i really wish customers would understand this because a lot of the stuff we makes has a “shelf life” of just a couple days and they always think that means it’s trash after that day but i literally made that like 2 days ago... it’s still fine.
I always say "If there's no mold, it's good as gold"
No mold,no smell,no mushyness,etc.
Dang it Adam
Spoiled milk may not be harmful to you, but I'm really sensitive to that smell. If it even barely starts to go bad, I nearly throw up. If I tried to drink it, I definitely would.
Micah Philson Spoiled milk is soooooo fucking nasty dude
it's just in your head, fool
Nah, its actually in my nose and on my tastebuds, fool
your nose and tastebuds don't digest food. the only reason you won't drink it is cause you THINK you are sensitive to it. if you smelled spoiled milk for your entire life, is it called spoiled? or just called milk? fool
most of the population is lactose intolerant in the first place, and you are being told that milk is good for your health when it isn't, so what do you expect to feel good about it? It's obvious you are lactose intolerant since you can't stomach it when it starts to turn. Your body knows best.
It is true that milk is pasteurized. But as soon as you open the container, bacteria can and probably will get into the milk and start growing.
