    It probably tasted funny because it was a different brand. I know that whenever I eat a different brand, or eat bacon at someone else's house, it tastes kind of funny because it is different. Generally the best before date is just a general guideline, and it doesn't have to be right on the date. I know people that have eaten things months after the best before date expires, and they were perfectly fine! I'm sure that you will be fine. [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img]

    I think you'll be okay. My dad ate some ancient bacon and he was fine.
    It should've been tossed weeks earlier. I say that because it was
    literally GROWING THINGS. Even a non-emet would have thrown it out.
    ...Except my dad, of course. I'm glad I wasn't home at the time. I
    would've killed him.[img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img]

    you'll be fine and hopefully now you can set your mind to rest about the bacon.

    hope you're ok.

    bacon has so much salt on its almost impossible for it to go off, even more so if it was smoked.

    Yea tha chances of getting sick from from food poisoning is very slim. Besides you said it was the "best before" not "used by date"so even then your chances are slimmer. And also dw bout your stomache making noises at night its only you stomache digesting food. If you want to avoid it though try to eat earlier and avoid protein after 6pm as it takes a while to digest.

    you feeling ok now? Aww Im the same, i get SO MAD!!! because the Coles shop here is known to sell lots of outdated food. if you only bought the food the other day and its out of date that big, go and complain like youve never complained before. if you bought it ages ago and forgot, then, its just a mistake to learn from


    Hugs and kisses

    Well I survived the bacon fiasco lol

    I SHOULD have taken the package and my receipt back..I only bought it
    the day before or whatever, so it had already been outdated a few days
    before I even bought it.



    Now, I am on this *READ EXPIRY DATE ON EVERYTHING EVEN POTATO CHIPS*
    thing....ARgggh! Will it ever end.. I just want to be normal and eat
    and enjoy food and not worry constantly.



    I just ate a Subway sub and *gasp* I am worried something in it will make me ill.



    [img]smileys/smilies_07.gif[/img]I hate being emet.

    Hi Laura Cate.......


    Im exactly like that, I will eat food cooked by my family or me. When I go out I panic like mad for a few days after in case i get sick. I study the menu's frantically trying to work out which food wont make be sick!!!


    At work when someone has abirthdays, theybring in mini buffets, like chicken bites, sausage rolls, pizza, home made cakes etc and I wont eat any of them. The only things I will eat come out of sealed packets and I will be the first person to open them and take what I want....... Its hard especially as I absolutely loooooovvvvveeee pizza!


    Mind you when it was my birthday they had a fab buffet that I prepared and I made sure I ate lots of it!!!
