I was eating some very delicious premium cheese crackers just now -- they are extremely delicious, believe me. The best way to describe them is to think of a much better version of those Sunshine Cheez-It crackers, with higher-quality ingredients. In fact, biting into just one of these rich crackers is like eating a slice of cheese. The box is small, and the price is high to reflect the great taste.
Unfortunately, I noticed the expiration date on the package said best by January 5. Do you think eating these crackers so far after the expiration date is okay for a product like this? It isn't like milk or bread. It is a product that sits on the retail shelf, not far from the aforementioned Cheez-Its item, it isn't refrigerated. I've read articles that have said some expiration dates don't necessarily convey a date of safety, merely a date after which the taste might not be so good (the taste of these crackers was still pretty good, thankfully).
I think I'll be okay; I mean, what's a month? Not to be funny, but let's say a zombie apocalypse occurred, and these crackers were found a year after expiration -- the survivors would still eat them, right? Still, I always worry about this sort of thing. I hope I don't get sick, or turn into one of those gray-matter blobs from Night Shift.
