Foods You Should Avoid Consuming Even When Close to Expiry
1. Dairy Products
Dairy items such as milk, yogurt, and cream are highly perishable and can quickly become a breeding ground for harmful bacteria past their expiration date. Their moisture content accelerates bacterial growth, leading to spoilage. Consuming expired dairy may result in food poisoning, with symptoms like stomach cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting.
2. Fresh Meat and Poultry
Meat and poultry are prone to contamination by bacteria like Salmonella and Campylobacter. Once expired, they can become unsafe to consume, leading to severe gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distress.
3. Eggs
Expired eggs can harbor Salmonella, a bacteria that thrives when the eggs lose freshness. A quick freshness test involves placing eggs in water—if they float, they’re unsafe to eat. Consuming spoiled eggs can result in digestive issues and foodborne illnesses.
4. Pre-packaged Deli Meats
While deli meats often include preservatives, they can still become contaminated after opening or once they pass their expiry date. Contamination with Listeria is a concern, posing significant risks to pregnant women, infants, and the elderly.
5. Fish and Seafood
