I just ate 2 out of date mince pies

[poochielove]

I have been on a proper health kick recently and have no sweet food in the house. However, this afternoon i got a massive craving for something sweet and the only thing i could find was an unopened box of mince pies. I didnt realise till i scoffed two and saw the use by was 26th Jan

Am i going to die?

I might be wrong but i think they have a best before date rather than a use by date?

A best before date just gives a guideline of when to eat something to enjoy it at its best. A use by date needs to be used before then as there is more chance of it going off and making you ill, like milk, yogurt etc

P.s I want a mince pie too now
