Okay everyone, time to feel queezy but also empowered with random knowledge!
I was at work when my latest protein powder delivery arrived yesterday. Need to pick it up later today.
This morning I opened my 'Emergency you've ran out of protein' draw and found a sachet of MET-RX meal replacement powder...a little out of date. Self experimentation and a desire for early morning protein made me pretend that the best before date said 11/13 and not the actual 11/03!!! Yep, this stuff was 10 YEARS out of date.
Well guess what...I'm fine. In actual fact, I shall be ordering lots more of the stuff. The chocolate one tastes like crap, but it always did. In 10 years (technically 11 years because it wasn't out of date when I bought it) they may have updated the formula, but I'm happy to take the risk that the new formula will store well.
I'll check back in at the end of the day, but after the first hour, it's all good.
Please note, for legal reasons, and concern that the updated formula does not store as well as the old one, I will only recommend people store and consume products well within their best before date!
Feeling queezy thinking of eating stuff 1 decade out of date? This will cheer you up. If it lasted 10 years, odds are another 4-5 probably wouldn't have changed a thing. Next pack will be 15 years OOD. Mmmm delicious!
