If you have ever known an emetophobe, you probably noticed how fanatical we are about expiration dates on food. Most of my perishable foods are tossed before the expiration date, just to be on the safe side.
I’ve heard everyone from close family member to grocery store employees tell me the date on the product is only when they must stop selling the product rather than when the product should no longer be consumed. And some products specifically say they are best before and then a date. That may sound ok to normal people but for me it poses one question. How long after the posted date is the food safe to consume? All of the answers I get are very ambiguous and well, no one seems to know.
