If a food or drink is "going bad," but hasn't "gone bad," is it still safe to eat or drink?

i wouldn't chance stuff trust me , former Dumpster diver here , inspect foods and drinks well and under sufficient lighting conditions , look for green hair or spots can be white too and growing Fur , various sliimes may exist and foul odour , lol if present any of these DO NOT EAT , Dummy !

Trust your heart … Good luck my friend… 😂

Fda says no but expired covid tests and plan b is okay

Yeah what most people call the expiration date is actually the sale by date it'll be good a few days after that it's more for the company to go by so they can get it off the shelves before it goes bad

Best before doesn’t mean bad after.

Depends, if it's so bad it's rioting I wouldn't touch it but a bit of mould is easily cut of cheese for example.

Good luck!

I actually know a business owner here that pays me to get rid of his old whiskey for him.... if the bottles have dust on them they're old damn I like foreigners sometimes

{@calicuz] if any doubt throw it in the bin not worth taking the chance with samonella and food poisoning

If it looks like a steak, smells like a steak, feels like a steak, but is labelled as chicken, you should run.

Mold spores on food or in drinks can be active spores long before they can be seen.

You can always put it back in the fridge for a few years and see what new form it takes.

YES!
Enjoy your rest

I would not risk it.

Yes, it's usually still safe. There are guidelines for food safety:

That being said, if I have a head of broccoli and just a few of the edges are yellow, I will cut them off and still eat the broccoli.

Canned foods are good for up to 2 years after the expiration dates.

If the food is cooked and has been kept in the fridge for longer than 10 days throw it out.

If it’s breaking bad you might want to be careful

Depends what it is, but mostly no way.

I wouldn’t chance it

If it is cooked properly it is okay

I don't eat that shit.

Nope it’s not

all depends on whether it is best before date or expired ,,,, expired date i would not touch ,,

If it's just out of date, it's cool

If it smells or tastes bad, not really safe

As long as you got some Salvital or indigestion tablets. Sure.

If it passes the sniff test, it's safe

Yeah…as long as it tastes good.

Your friend is good

Sure why not
