Havent mafe tgis yet as I have found that the date has expied about 6 months ago. Would this still be good to make?

Would you post more information please.

If all the pieces are unopened, then yes, it is safe to make. There have been numerous studies done about expiration dates and how for the most part they are meaningless. They are indicators of freshness, not spoilage. I keep fresh mild around for coffee and baking. Milk will stay fresh in my refrigerator for up to 3-4 weeks past the date printed on the carton.

I have to agree with paoberle. We all managed to survive before expiration dates came into the scene.

Milk - fresh 3-4 was after exp. date? I usually just give it 10 days - maybe. It seems the container, wax or plastic smells like old milk.....I think I'm going to begin putting milk into a glass jug...like the old glass milk bottles!

I'd use it as long the packaged cheesecake as it didn't smell 'off'. Six months past the expiration date isn't very long.

We lived for years with no dates on our foods. Personally, I think it's a good way for waste and selling more food. Grant you chips, crackers and bagged snacks can age and taste stale, fresh only lasts so long. But canned, boxed and frozen last a long time. Frozen, especially if it is done in one of the seal a meals and kept in a 0 degree freezer. I keep my cake and pancake mixes in the refrigerator.

I have a small flock of chickens. So no food goes to waste. Makes me feel better about choosing to toss food for any reason.

Isn't that the truth!

I never really noticed expiration dates on my canned food. One day I took out a can of creamed corn, and it had expired a year ago. I opened the can and OMG it looked awful. The can wasn't bulging or anything. No way was I going to smell it! Lesson learned - Don't give expired canned goods to the food shelf.
