I have got some Gammon steaks in the fridge at home...?

Question

i was going to have them for dinner tonight! But i have just noticed the "best before 2nd June" sticker. Although 1 day out of date, will they still be ok to eat tonight?

Answer 1

Yes. A few hours isn't going to make much difference unless you've had them in the airing cabinet ! ! !

Answer 3

As long as they are still sealed in their packaging and the packaging was well done, you shouldn't have any issue with them.



The best way to know is let your eyes and nose tell you if you think you should eat them. If they don't have a good smell or are in a pasty/creamy looking liquid then they may not be good.



Unless it is fish, I usually count an extra day into the use-by date if necessary and let my other senses determine if I should use the product or not.



Cheers

Answer 4

they will be OK for a few days,

try this viking gammon

grill gammon on both sides top with slices of tomato

and some cheese, add some fresh black pepper put back under the grill for 3-5 Min's enjoy!

Answer 5

I'm sure they will be absolutely fine. A best "before date" is not the same as a "sell by" or "eat before" date. Best before means exactly what it says - it's at its freshes before this date. Especially if they are in a sealed pack it should be ok for a few days. Mmmmm- making my mouth water. Enjoy!

Answer 6

The best way to tell if meat is off is to smell it - if it smells sour, it's off.



One day past the best before should be fine. These dates are only to protect food companies. I eat stuff past BB dates all the time.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Yeah they should be fine givin its only the 3/6 today. Just smell them once you open the wrapper & that will tell you.

Answer 9

Eating gammon steaks that are 1 day out of date is tantamount to signing your own death sentence. under no cicumstances should you eat pork of this antiquity. You have been warned. Don't blame me when you die a long lingering painful death.

Answer 10

yes as long as they don't smell like they are off, they don't just over night turn bad. No matter what the super markets will tell you.
