mickey finn Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Don't buy out of date food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki-red Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) While I find it hard to believe that they missed a can on the shelves for over 2 years, even if they did providing the can was in good condition it wouldn’t make you ill... “Due to tightly controlled procedures of commercial canning, cans that are in good condition are safe indefinitely and will never make you sick, even if the best-by date passes during home storage,” Goodwin tells The Takeout. Indefinitely? Like forever, forever ever? “Yes, a can that is 10-plus years old that is still in good condition is technically safe to eat,” Goodwin confirms‘’ From... https://www.google.com/amp/s/thetakeout.com/do-canned-foods-ever-expire-1832335750/amp So if you’ve been sick it’s probably just a coincidence. Take the can, along with the receipt etc back to the store. Theyll be able to check the barcode to make sure you have actually just bought it. Either that or take photos and email them. The other option is to contact Environmental Health. Edited February 9, 2020 by nikki-red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You bought it from Asda, can you not figure out where you should go to complain and get the issue resolved? If you're ill go to the doctors.

tinfoilhat Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Are you looking at the right string of numbers? None of sample I took (My cupboard) have a specific date, only a month and year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Hardie Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Best of luck, let us know how you go on. Who knows? Every scammer that finds an out of date tin at the back of his cupboard could be about to cash in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxman Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Did it say Pedigree Chum or Felix on the can? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
