best before

[upup]

Hi, I got sour cream and the date Best before is 05/10/10. We bought it not so long ago.

I don't understand that date.
I want to do muffins with it.

Do the muffins.

 

[upup]

thanks for your permission. Would like to know which date that is.

 

[ponder]

10 May 2010 or 5 Oct 2010, either way it says 2010 to me.

5 October 2010

It's sour cream. It will only become sour-er cream.

Do your muffins.

Sour cream is not actually sour. It is chemically soured and has a shelf life for very good reasons - it is full of lipids in the form of dairy fat, which will turn rancid shortly after the shelf life. Chuck it out. And you can't make sour cream by adding an acid to cream - that's not how it works...

DO MUFFIN!

1) Check recipe
2) Check medical aid is paid up
3) Make muffins
4) Enjoy
5) Seek medical attention.

Actually I would have thought that container would have exploded by now, if a normal plastic with aluminium cover.

PS first thing I did when reading the post was check the date of the post.

I also thought it is 2010 somewhere, but it was bought 2 months ago.
Will get rid of it then.

You're going to listen to these people? Do your muffins. The heat in the oven will kill anything potentially harmful in the sour cream.

Do the muffins.

 

[FlatspinZA]

Don't do it...

 

[Mila]

Just do eeeet!!
See it as a science project. Come tell us what happens.

 

[MKFrost]

You will cross your own best before date if you use that

2 years old?! The fumes off that sour cream will melt your lungs long before you get it into the oven...

Even if it was produced two months ago it would still not be safe to eat:wtf:

All the people that say do the muffins, are they going to pay your medical expenses?!

Call the manufacturer and say they are distributing 2 year old stock. They'll send a voucher for more cream and you profit and make all the muffins.
