No mayo has raw eggs in it, if you read the back its the same with salad cream

I was watching something about mayo and unless it's homemade the Ph level is so high that nothing can live in it to send it off.

Food Poisoning Myths

MYTH: Mayonnaise is often the cause of food-borne illness.

REALITY: Mayonnaise does not cause food poisoning, bacteria do. And bacteria grow best on foods that contain protein and are at temperatures between 40-140 degrees F. Commercially prepared mayonnaise is safe to use. At greater risk for developing bacteria are the foods mayonnaise is commonly mixed with for picnics and potlucks, such as pasta, potatoes, eggs, chicken, or tuna. But even these will be safe if you keep your cooler below 40 degrees F.

"Small, cut-up surfaces allow the bacteria to grow in the right environment," says Mildred Cody, PhD, RD, head of the nutrition division at Georgia State University. "Try taking whole foods like cherry tomatoes that are easy to eat and leave the mixed salads at home unless you can store them properly."

My jars and bottles and stuff last me years and years!! I just opened a jar of butternut squash chutney (don't ask!) today - the sell by date was last month

Its the same with milk, it says use within 4 days but other jar stuff i think is ok but mayo and salad cream i do throw away after 4 weeks of opening, i'd never eat again if i listened to everything this bloke said on the course

See.....I think stuff like this is fine if it hasn't been opened beforehand. There's a lot of waste that goes on I reckon.

 

I eat yogurts that are days out of date

So do I.

 

We (as a population) throw out tons of perfectly good food these days because of the 'use by' and 'best before' dates and research shows that many people do not understand the difference between 'use by' and 'best before' thus even more waste is created because a lot of food is being thrown out when it reaches its 'best before' date.
