Mayo after exp. date?

mamaholic

I am making deviled eggs and need just a little mayo. The expiration date says jan. 26, 2010.

What do you think? Still good?

I am really craving these so help pronto!!!

Does it smell ok?

If it smells and looks OK, I'd do it.

I'm not a big fan of eating anything after the expiration date, mayo scares me.

On one hand, it's so full of preservatives, so it'd probably be ok. but on the other, I'm a slave to most expiry dates. 

though I did just eat VERY VERY VERY old eggs and they were yummy. I guess go for it, but don't blame us if anything goes wonky. HAHAH

I'm weird about exp dates so I say step away from the expired product containing raw eggs!

If it looks/smells fine, go for it.  It's not that far out of date, and most commercial mayo has plenty of preservatives to keep it safe for a good long while.

yea, but it's shelf stable, it doesn't need to be refrigerated unless opened, so the raw eggs can't be a big deal. right?

I won't touch it if it's a day past the expiration date. I'm weird like that I guess.

High 5! I'm with you there and it drives DH insane!

Normally I don't worry about expiration dates, but since I don't really know what mayo is supposed to smell like, I'll toss it and have DH bring home some "fresh". Although I am not sure how "fresh" mayo you can get. lol

P.S. Eggs are fine if they pass the sink or swim test. Drop an egg in a cup of water. If it sinks, it's fine, if it floats, toss it. I get farm fresh eggs and they obviously don't come with an expiry date, so I do this every time!

Bahahaha same here. He tried to pack a yogurt in my lunch one day that expired almost a month ago. He's crazy! I might have traded it for someone else's snack though, since I'm a 5 year old and my DH packs my lunch
