Foods You Can Still Eat After the Expiry Date

Alcohol takes years to go off, but most hard spirits such as vodka and whiskey won't make you ill if you drink them after their best before date has expired. Beer is also safe to drink once it's gone off - but it probably won't taste very nice. But cream-based liqueurs and anything that's been in the sun for too long a time may be dangerous once they're past their expiry date, so watch out for those languishing old bottles on your booze shelf.
