Telltale signs your Food is expired

Contrary to popular belief, expiration or sell by dates on foods aren’t necessarily a reliable way of telling whether something has gone bad. In fact, these dates are mostly aimed at retailers and let grocery stores know the date by which the product should be sold or removed from the shelf.

So take the sell-by dates with a grain of salt and use your sense of sight and smell instead. When it comes to going through your stash of groceries at home, you just need a small amount of know-how to tell if something should be tossed or kept.
