I believe everyone has the habit of hoarding food in life. A visit to the supermarket can buy a lot of food, either in the refrigerator or in the cupboard. But some people have poor memory, so that the food has not been taken out after the shelf life, and finally they can only throw it away sadly.
Although eating expired food is a way to save food, it is harmful to human health. Some foods will be moldy or rotten after the shelf life, which will not only affect the taste and taste of food, but also carry toxins. If you continue to eat, toxins will enter the human body, causing pathological changes and seriously affecting human health. Therefore, it is better to throw away some spoiled food that can be seen by the naked eye.
Some people may ask, "some spoiled foods are easy to distinguish with the naked eye, while some foods are obviously expired and look good, with no signs of deterioration." Is this food edible? "
We will discuss this issue in different situations. Some foods have expired and gone bad, which is imperceptible to the naked eye. After eating, it will inevitably lead to gastrointestinal discomfort due to deterioration, but some foods can still be safely eaten even after the shelf life. Let's see what they have!
canned meat
This kind of food is very convenient to eat. You can eat it after opening the can. It is very suitable for people who need ready-to-eat rations when traveling and people who don't like cooking. Anyone who has bought canned meat should know that this kind of food has a long shelf life. In the process of canning, the manufacturer will add some salt to it, thus extending the shelf life. Canned meat is not so easy to deteriorate, and it can be eaten naturally after expiration.
However, it should be noted that the expired canned meat here refers to the unopened canned meat. If it is not eaten immediately after opening, it will still deteriorate during storage. In addition, we should grasp the time of eating. If it is only two or three days overdue, it is completely edible, but if it is overdue for several months or half a year, don't eat it again.
Original oatmeal
Oats are very popular healthy coarse grains in contemporary times. Many beauty lovers will increase the intake of oats in their diet, which can not only provide satiety, but also ensure balanced nutrition, which is very in line with the dietary needs of contemporary people.
Why do you say that plain oatmeal can still be eaten after it has expired? In fact, it is related to its production and processing methods. Original oatmeal refers to oatmeal that has not been finely processed. Compared with common oats on the market, it contains less water, so it is not easy to attract bacteria and mold. If it expires unopened, it is completely edible.
Boxed milk
In fact, this kind of food can be eaten after it has expired. In addition to boxed milk, bagged milk can also be eaten after expiration. This milk will be sterilized or pasteurized in the production process, and the milk itself is free of bacteria. If the milk is sealed instead of being unpacked, even if it expires, the milk in the package will not be eroded and deteriorated by bacteria, and it can continue to be drunk.
What we should pay attention to is that boxed milk or bagged milk like this is not easy to keep once it is opened. I suggest you drink it on the same day to avoid wasting milk when opening the bottle for too long.
Seeing this, do you feel that you have learned another trick to save money? Some things can still be eaten after expiration. I would like to remind you that in the face of expired food, it is better to eat it carefully. After all, not all expired foods can be safely eaten.
It is not difficult to avoid food expiration and waste at the same time. It is a very good habit to buy food in small quantities many times.
Dear friends, do you have any expired food in your family? Will you throw it away or keep eating?
