tetras out of date by a few days, are they ok?

Hi,

I'm currently on my prep week for soul source and I just checked the date on my tetra packs ( I have some left over from last time ).

Anyway, most of them are in date but there are 2 days worth that have the 8th and 9th of January 08 as their BEST BEFORE DATE. Now, I know if it said USE BY DATE then you have to use them before but when it says BEST BEFORE then I believe that you can consume the product a little after that date. Today was my first day of my prep week, I planned to start ss'ing in a couple of days so they would go over the date by say 4 days.

Can anyone tell me of their experiences with out of date tetra packs??

Any info. would be helpfull.

Many Thanks

Hi SJ

By no means an expert but I'd think a couple of days would be fine. How's the prep week going hun?

hiya Georgie,

I thought the same about the packs, just thought I'd check though coz I read the sticky about out of date stock. I really don't want to waste them (tight git arent I??) lol

Today has gone ok for me hun, I've not eaten any obvious carbs, stuck to protein foods and not been naughty with the sweet stuff, so, I think I'm doing ok as far as carbs are concerned, not too sure about the calories though but either way I've eaten a lot less today than I have done over the past 3 months or so.

Earlier on today I had a naughty food thought and didnt know if I could be bothered going through cd again, and then my thoughts turned straight to you and your latest photo and you brought me straight back in line. I just want you to know how much your sucess is helping me and therefore will be helping other people on this site, even the lurkers (hello, whoever you are).

You've done brilliantly and look amazing. I'm thrilled for you.

Thanks so much SJ and right back at you - I remember back in August when I first started and joined Minis you were my inspiration so in a funny way we have both helped eachother and that is what it is all about.

Well done on having such a good day and I wouldn't really worry too much about the calorie levels the main focus is cutting the carbs as that will make SS a much smoother ride. Getting back into the swing of things is the name of the game!

Are you still crafting?

Gxx

too true hunny, here for eachother.

Yep, I still craft when I get the chance. I don't do anything during the daytime other than looking after my little girl so the couple of hours I get in the night time have to be split between watching the soaps, crafting, minimins and maybe passing the time of day with my husband lol. I remember when I was a kid, the days and weeks seemed to last forever, but now, omg, there really arent enough hours in a day (I feel like an oldy saying that) hee hee.

Hi,

This is the thread with company guidance on out of date stock. The tetras go off quicker than anything else.
