Foods That You Should Never Eat After The Expiration Date

There is nothing better to eat fresh food all the time, but it is a fact that you can’t always have fresh foods at home, and you have to buy food and keep it few days before you eat them. That means that you should take care the food you keep in the refrigerator not to over pass its expiration day, and eat it before that day. One thing is sure; you should never eat some kind of foods after the expiration date. Below are listed some of the foods that you should never eat after the expiration day. Take care of them.

1. Milk

One of the foods that you must avoid eating after the expiration date is definitely milk. Pasteurization eliminates most of the bacteria present in the milk but no one can guarantee you that the milk is not contaminated with some bacteria while being stored at the grocery store, so always read the expiration date when buying sour milk from the market as you get in even bigger risk of getting your body a food poisoning when you drink sour milk with expired date of use.

2. Fish

Fish is definitely one food that you can’t risk to eat after the expiration day. So, if you have some fish you’ve forgotten in the fridge and its expiration day has passed, the best to do is to throw it away. Eating fish after its expiration date can cause listeriosis, a disease that causes abdominal pain, which is particularly dangerous for pregnant women.

3. Spinach

Spinach is another food that you can’t eat after its expiration date. The reason is that spinach tends to spoil quickly especially when it is wet, so the best is to dry them properly and keep it, so that you prolong its lifespan.

4. Ground pork

Ground pork, same as the fish, is a food that you can’t eat after the expiration date. Eating meat with expired date can cause food poisoning and even losing the life if eaten from people with fragile immune system.

5. Soft cheese

Another food causing listeriosis after its expiration date is the soft cheese. While the hard cheeses can be eaten even after the expiration day, if you cut off the mold and eat the rest of the cheese, the soft cheese is not good to be eaten after mold appears on it, as it is considered to be more susceptible to listeria monocytogens which is the bacteria that causes the listeriosis.

6. Eggs

Eggs are definitely the food that you can’t eat, even if you want, after the expiration date. You should never eat a rotten egg, and the best is that you can make a simple trick to determine which egg is rotten. You should just drop the egg into a bowl of water, and watch what is happening in there. If the egg floats it is a good sign to know that it is not a good egg to eat, and you should throw it away immediately.

7. Strawberries

Strawberries can be eaten after the expiration date, first because they don’t even last more than three days even if kept in the refrigerator. After few days they become quite soft and transform into a hotbed of lots of bacteria.
