I was eating some very delicious premium cheese crackers just now -- they are extremely delicious, believe me. The best way to describe them is to think of a much better version of those Sunshine Cheez-It crackers, with higher-quality ingredients. In fact, biting into just one of these rich crackers is like eating a slice of cheese. The box is small, and the price is high to reflect the great taste. Unfortunately, I noticed the expiration date on the package said best by January 5. Do you think eating these crackers so far after the expiration date is okay for a product like this? It isn't like milk or bread. It is a product that sits on the retail shelf, not far from the aforementioned Cheez-Its item, it isn't refrigerated. I've read articles that have said some expiration dates don't necessarily convey a date of safety, merely a date after which the taste might not be so good (the taste of these crackers was still pretty good, thankfully). I think I'll be okay; I mean, what's a month? Not to be funny, but let's say a zombie apocalypse occurred, and these crackers were found a year after expiration -- the survivors would still eat them, right? Still, I always worry about this sort of thing. I hope I don't get sick, or turn into one of those gray-matter blobs from Night Shift. I was eating some very delicious premium cheese crackers just now -- they are extremely delicious, believe me. Sure, Cheez-Its will go stale and milk will go bad a certain number of weeks after packaging, but supermarket meat departments, where they do their own labeling, are generally left up to their own devices (30 states don’t regulate date labeling at all). May 05, 2008 Will I get food poisioning from Cheezits that were two months past expriation date? I know I would be angry if I bought stale cheez its, however, they won't make you sick. And if it would not look appropriate do no longer eat it!! Erek 2 years ago. Report Abuse. Add a comment.

'Best by' dates are just that, they are 'best' by that date.which is rather subjective, I mean I loooves me some month old Peeps, stale donuts and rock hard cookies with my coffee, pizza left on the counter overnight, so who's gonna tell me when it's, 'best by'? Experation dates are a whole nuther thang, but not by much, especially if a tasty morsel is in unbroken sealed packaging. I mean there's always common sense to fall back on, like if your can of imported salted bat wings 'looks like she's s ready to blow!' , probably should throw that one away and grab another without the bulging wasteline.oh, and maybe have a 'friend' over for a taste test, coulda been made from diseased bats, ya just don't never know. Speaking in general about expiry dates, because I haven't seen them posted in other answers to this or other questions. Expiry dates are (in some jurisdictions) entirely optional for most goods, and determined by the manufacturer (, anecdotally). Another recent-ish article, which I found enlightening, from that suggests that strict adherence to these 'dates' results in wasted food that's perfectly safe. There's no doubt a balance between economics. And helpful suggestions for general health/safety. There's clearly also examples and counterexamples: food that's spoiled before the expiry date because of poor storage, contamination, etc.; unopened shelf-stable food that might be safe indefinitely. Plenty more questions about this topic, in general, also by searching SA for 'expiry' and/or 'expiration' in addition to the other suggested search topics. Be safe out there!:). It may well be a can of worms, but your question is very valid when, according to Wikipedia: every year in the USA there are 76 million foodborne illnesses, leading to 325,000 hospitalizations and 5,000 deaths. That aside, it is worth pointing out the facts about hard cheese and its longevity. Firstly it is a high fat product. Fat goes rancid, not bad unless it develops mould. Therefore if it looks mould-free, smells and tastes fine, there will be no problem. Indeed, even if the cheese has developed a mould, it does not necessarily mean it will make you ill, as the human gut has been made to deal with many moulds which naturally occur. Historical facts: hard cheese was 'invented' as a way of preserving a product made in times of plenty, to see over the times of hunger. The inherent properties and content (fat and salt) are long-life products which no amount of industrialisation can destroy. These cheeses include Cheddar, Parmesan, Emmenthal and Edam. My personal experience: I currently have cheese in the refrigerator bought abroad and three-four months past its 'use by' date. This happens regularly every year, because I cannot live without my Extra Mature Cheddar. At no time have we ever been ill as a result of eating out of date cheese. HOWEVER, it is not low-fat nor grated. If grated cheese is nearing its best-by date and you do not intend using it in the near future, simply pop it into the freezer. Cheez It Duoz FlavorsShelf Life A UK initiative to reduce food-waste may be of interest. WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Programme) is a registered UK charity working with 'businesses, individuals and communities to achieve a circular economy through helping them reduce waste, develop sustainable products and use resources in an efficient way'. It is pertinent that the whole 'use by' labeling is being scrutinised. According to WRAP, 33% percent of all food produced is wasted along the cold chain or by the consumer. Recipes With Cheez It CrackersAt the same time, a large number of people get sick every year due to spoiled food. Which brings us back to your question of how long will it take before you get sick if the cheese was 'bad'? The incubation period i.e. The time between eating contaminated food and the onset of symptoms, can be as short as a few hours or as long as several weeks. Hard cheese is less likely to cause serious food-poisoning, but Salmonella and Listeria and other bacteria may be found in a range of chilled, ready-to-eat foods including cheeses such as soft blue cheese, Brie and Camembert.

It will also develop and grow in a refrigerated environment It is also worth mentioning most deaths from food poisoning are from E.coli and Listeria, with the very young, the aged and those with a compromised immune system at greatest risk.
