Expired Cheese?

I know it's only 3 days, but I just realized after eating my cheeseburger that the cheese expired on May 16th. No harm no foul?! Think it'll be ok!?

Isn't cheese expired milk anyway? How does it have an expiration date? Haha...

Guess I never noticed, I've probably been eating expired cheese as well.

I have some cheese that says "best if sold by April 20" on the package.  No expiration date.  I HATE the "best if sold by" thing.  It's so ambiguous.

Like a PP said, I guess it's alright as long as it doesn't smell, look, or taste weird at all.

I eat yogurt that is a month expired.  Cream cheese that is a couple months past.  If it isn't growing something and it doesn't smell weird I take it more as a reminder of when I purchased it.  lol

LOL. This. And it's usually a sell by date not an expiration date...

Dairy products you just have to check. If they're bad, it's usually obvious...although I have accidentally eaten cheese with a tiny bit of mold before I noticed. I didn't die haha. Expiration dates are like due dates lol. They can't predict exactly when it'll go bad, just give you a date that it'll still "be good" by so you have a general idea. Eat the cheeeeeese. It's delicious.

A few weeks ago, I ate some cheese and later realized the end of the block was moldy. It didn't taste bad or anything. Truthfully, if I weren't pregnant, I would have just cut the moldy pieces off and put the cheese back in the fridge. But I decided to exercise a little more caution since I'm pregnant. With daily products, it will smell or taste foul if it's bad.
