There was a great piece in the Irish Independent this morning about the risk you take when you eat 'out of date' food. According to Suzanne Campbell, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland says HALF of us eat food that have gone past the sell-by-date and that WE the consumer rely more on instinct than labelling to see if those rashers at the back of the fridge are worth eating!
Sheila Ann got in touch to say she saw a programme on Channel 4 some time ago about a guy who ate out of date food for a month. He had himself checked out by a doctor before he did and he had himself checked out after and he was grand...no effect on him!
Elena said that she would throw things after the sell by date but her dad would eat anything! He'd say it's never done him any harm.
