Well closed the best before date is well past! Can I still eat this product? Should I cook it?
Hello Clientecurieuse, if we understand you correctly, the jar has already been opened once. It's difficult to answer the question of how long the contents of an opened package - e.g. a tube, can, bottle, etc. - can be kept for. Shelf life varies not only according to the product, but also according to how the product is stored or even handled after it has been opened. If, for example, someone is in the habit of drinking directly from an opened bottle, or picking up pickles from the jar with their fingers, the contents will spoil more quickly than with hygienic handling. Storage in a properly regulated refrigerator is also crucial. Because of these many influencing factors, it is not possible to set shelf life times for products that have already been opened. You have to rely on your senses and experience. Most spoilage reactions are visible (e.g. the appearance of mould) or perceptible to the taste (musty odour, acidification, rancidity, etc.). If products change in appearance, smell of fermentation or taste different from before : DO NOT EAT! If in doubt, discard the product. There's no point in reheating a spoiled product. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
