Rustler Burger Use by Date

[ICEx21]

So I've just ate a Rustlers burger which had a use by date of the 1st of April, it didn't smell funky at all so I just scoffed it down but now someone's told me that "best before" and "use by" dates are totally different and I shouldn't have ignored the use by date.
Is this safe or am I in for some pavement pizza for dinner and chocolate fountain for dessert?

They are a precooked meat packed with loads of preservatives. If you cooked it to a hot enough temperature it should be fine.

 

[Oh Ed not again.]

I love it when people ask after they've eaten the item in question. Hunger trumps everything else lol.

Regardless of whether you die as a result of the burger or at some point in the future of natural causes, you're going to Hell for eating a Rustlers burger

In future, make sure you microwave it until it shrinks and resembles an Ice Hockey puck. Then put it in the bin.

I thought posts asking medical questions weren't allowed Death will be slow and painful RIP.

Cardboard doesn't go out of date

the offical line - if its 'use by' you shouldnt eat it after that date, if its 'best before' you can but it may not be as good.

Should've thrown it away regardless of its freshness.

I've eaten some ropey post-pub burgers in my time, but I'd never stoop so low as to eat a Rustler's product.

I should update the location as I now live in NYC but fly over to the UK frequently for work, but yeah not the healthiest thing to eat but I was craving something quick after a heavy drinking session the previous night lol.

There seem to be a lot of food snobs in here, I hope you all choke on your caviar

The irony of someone mentioning a Rustlers Burger in a subforum named "La Cuisine"
