We have a still sealed packet of bacon in the fridge. The use by date is 21/11/2011. Would it still be alright to use tomorrow morning for breakfast or is it not worth the risk! Cheers

Is it a 'use by date' or a 'best before' date!

As kassie said - go by smell.We used to get bins of bacon just past best before date, to feed to our hounds.So long as the packaging still looked good I just chucked it in our freezer for our own use.Sometimes got 1.5 kilo packs of streaky bacon, so I'd open it, smell it, and if all good break it down into small portions and freeze.
