Outdated protein bars
Posted this on the main forum but only got on reply so I thought I would try here.
I was cleaning out my lunchbox and noticed that the protein bars I've been eating for the last week have been outdated since April 2008. Are they still okay to eat? Guess it's too late if not. I bought 2 boxes, 2 different kinds, each box is still 1/2 full or more. They still taste fine, look fine and smell fine. I don't want to waste them...they are so expensive!!! What do you think?
I also noticed that I have 2 other boxes one marked May 2008 the other is June 20, 2008.
Thank you!
Thank you All for your responses ~ I'm still going to eat them but I will eat the ones with the earliest date first. Wouldn't ya know those are the most calories 240 but the most protein too 19. I eat a protein bar everyday for my afternoon snack because I usually am eating it on the way home. GNC had them on sale (still expensive but better) that's why I bought the big boxes and now I know why...DUH!!
They should be fine - many times the date is a 'sell by date' or a 'best if used by'... the only time I chuck out of date stuff is when its something that needs to be kept in the fridge. Ive eaten a lot of stuff way out of date and havent died yet lol.
