Is it okay to eat food with expiration dates that have passed?
assistant
It depends on the type of food and how long ago it was expired. Some foods can be eaten safely after their expiration date, such as canned goods, frozen foods, dried fruits and vegetables, and some dairy products. However, other types of food should not be consumed past their expiration date, including meats, fish, eggs, and dairy products. In general, it is best to check the expiration date before purchasing any food item and follow safety guidelines for storing food properly.
