Do you believe the expired date printed on the products? Will you check it?

I always check the expiry date of the products I buy. But it is still allowable to use the products most products have a one to two months allowance.

...yeap! i believe to bestbefore/expirary date prints, i pay attention to products that i buy in grocery store espl. those things easily perishable better cautious than to waste money..:D

yes, I take those expiry dates seriously although there is a margin of tolerance on the expiry dates indicated on the products, why gamble? Always check the expirations and avoid those products with ending expirations date and consume the products immediately as much as possible and don't wait till it's near expiring, again better safe than sorry.

Hi!!
I always check the expiry date of the products I purchase and I totally believe on the expiry dates printed on the products as it is mandatory for the companies to print the expiry dates as per the Government rules.Expiry date helps you to know the shelf life of the product especially medicines and makes you aware when to stop consuming the product.In India there are various quality testing companies made by Government who test the various products before them coming to the market and if you see a particular product certified by that association then you can be sure about the quality of the product.If the products are consumed after they have crossed the expiry date they might prove harmful and can lead to severe consequences.

I try to believe it, after all there is only thing we can trust if you do want to eat it. but i believe that even though the expired date was printed, but some of them are not true, i once had a bread which supposed to be produced on the next day. Well if you want to eat the products, you have no choice but to believe the printed expired date, otherwise what other ways you can do to test the products?

There is always a little extra time past the expiration date on any product during which the product is still safe to consume. But the truth is that the quality of even non-perishable items diminishes over time, so the "best if used before" date is probably pretty accurate. You won't get sick if you eat it after that date, but it won't taste as good.

I try to buy products with the expiration date that is furthest into the future. Usually we use products long before then, but it's best to be safer than sorry.

Well, in my country i trust the expiry dates printed on the products. I always buy things seeing the date. It is better so that u will be careful that u don,t buy things that are expiring so soon.

Yes, I do. Especially concerning children, I think I must be careful.
Sure, most products have some security time allowance. Providing they are stored in the correct conditions.
But when I am buying something, I think the retailer must also be careful.
I'm not sure what happens if the products are given back to the manufacturer, anyway...

I believe the expired date on any package. Although I know some are not correct, we can be a little flexible with it. However I think it’s a good habit to keep my eye open on the last date.

However my husband totally doesn’t believe in it. He had the work experience at a supermarket. He thinks it’s just a way the producers let consumers to buy their products and consume it as soon as possible. So now I have to keep my eye open on the food my husband bought and pushed him to eat old food first when he takes food from fridge.

Hi sasalove: it's better to pay attention to the expire dates before buying products. It's all about your health. Even they're not the exactly dates of expiration i won't accept a product expired and if i bought one by mistake i will go back to the supermarket and return it with my invoice.
