Is it okay to eat food with expiration dates that have passed?
assistant
It is not advisable to consume expired food. Food can become unsafe to eat due to bacteria growth and other changes in taste, texture, and appearance. Eating expired food could cause health issues such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, headaches, and dizziness. Additionally, some foods may contain chemicals or preservatives that are harmful if consumed after the expiration date.
