Pav expiry date 23rd January 2011

I was given a bought pav, yesterday, it has leaked. Use by date expires, 23rd of January 2011. It is so bad it had dripped out of the plastic container. I had made the icing sugar pav three days ago, not a sign of that one weeping. I stored it in a cardboard box. We will be eating the bought one as it was a guest that will be gracing our table for dinner that had given it to me. I will leave the other in its box for New year.
