Safe to eat?

[Westie]

just found a lasagne in the freezer dated 16th Feb 2008, i really really fancy it but would it still be ok to eat?

ive just opened it and it still smells ok, ive never been ill off food before but will this be ok? lol


im starving and my freezer is empty and its raining loads outside and i cant be bothered to go shops

so would you or wouldnt you eat it?

 

[monkeyspank]

yes fine

 

[vanandjuanunited]

If ts been frozen it will be fine

If it doesn't have obvious stuff growing on it I would think it'd be OK.

 

[JBuk]

eat it, if you die then you know it was no good

 

[uknowist]

I'd eat it

 

[Energize]

It's not as if anything has been growing on it at -20c.

 

[ste_bla]

use by = no
best before = yes

 

[Repta]

if it was in the freezer it should be fine

 

[daven1986]

it will be fine.

you'll be grand..

Raw chicken is my worse mistake. Of the nibbly-bit variety. How was I to know they were supposed to be oven cooked?!?

Tasted good though, and not a squirt in sight

It'll be reet. Even if it was fresh and that far outa date I'd give it a go, as long as it wasn't obviously fluffy / green / moving of it's own accord.

I'd rather spend 2 days on the toilet and be full, rather than £1.49 on a new lasagne.

Generally you can freeze food for 2-3 months...I'm not sure any longer is safe, it depends on the freezer rating.

it's been made with preservatives, irradiated, filled with nitrogen and then frozen It's fine..

That made me chuckle.

OP, how did you not notice you were out of food? or can't you eat\make anything fresh?

Interesting fact: I ate some Bird's Eye chicken dippers from the freezer the other month....



Dated Oct 2006. And I'm still here

No food poisoning? I thought only dry\canned stuff lasted that long

So if we don't hear from you within 5 hours we'll take it that you're crying in the bathroom not knowing which end to point at the toilet bowl?
