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.
 
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...
 
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.
 
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.

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