20 foods you can eat after the expiration date

3. Applesauce
If you have applesauce in a cool, dark place that you haven’t opened yet, don’t worry: you can eat it up to 18 months after the expiration date!

4. Honey. Although
honey is sold with an expiration date, it has antiseptic properties and therefore never expires. While its color and texture may change over time, it can be consumed without any problem if it is not stored in a dark cupboard.

5. Desserts
If you have a sweet tooth and have leftover desserts, you can eat them 3 to 4 weeks after the expiration date and satisfy your craving in an instant!

6. Canned goods.
Generally, the expiration dates on the packaging indicate that you can consume them up to 3 years later, but you can go up to 4 years or more as long as you have kept them in a cool, dry place.

7. Hard cheeses.
Hard cheeses, such as cheddar or parmesan, can be consumed up to one month after their expiration date. If they have moldy parts, simply cut them off and use the rest without any problem.

Eggs
8.
Craving an omelet but the expiration date has passed? No problem, you can easily check if it’s still good: put the egg in a container of water; if it sinks, it’s safe to eat.
