My brother worked at a grocery delivery service and gave me a bunch of sauces which I forgot about in the basement. I just discovered some laoganma but the expiration dates are for march 2025. What do you think? Will I get sick? Can I still enjoy?

Eat them
I just opened a new jar today that expired in 2023. You’re good.
Probably fine if the seal is good
Boof em

You really just have to smell it. If it smells ok, put a tiny tiny bit on your tongue.
Wait… march? Of this year?!
These last years opened.
These havent even been opened yet.
Better than in date. Matured.
Required by law to have expiration dates. Even for food that pretty much never turns bad. This stuff is so salty it’s pretty much preserved to pass down to your grandchildren.
Probably still edible in 2100.
Totally fine
Everything legally has to have SOME expiration date on it if it’s edible. Canned and jarred stuff is usually good an extra year+ beyond the date, but they’ll say “2025” *just in case* something happens in 2027 their asses are covered
Aka you’ll be fine. Open and smell canned and jarred stuff that’s past date and it’s highly likely it’s perfectly fine months or years beyond the date
I’d eat it.
EAT
I’d eat it.
Expiration dates are ” rotation dates”, the product doesn’t just magically spoil when it hits that date. That’s when the stores are forced to list it as waste and buy new shit so that the wheels of the corporation keep turning. Realistically, all canned goods are shelf stable for an easy 5 years past their ” ExPiraTioN DAtE”. Don’t let the fear mongering get to you, as long as it isn’t discolored, foul smelling, moldy or pressurized when it shouldn’t be, it’s fine.
Yes
Unexpired foods are for pussies.
As long as the oil doesn’t taste or smell rancid, it’s good. These kinds of chili crisps often last quite a long time (years) past best by date, especially if you refrigerate them after opening. Just my experience.
I’d hit that, no hesitation.
Anything jarred or canned can last years past the best by date as long as it’s sealed so you’re fine and I bet they’ll taste just as good
All fine, no question
Shit stays usable forever
Not expired but best by. Eat it. It’s perfectly safe.
Fried peppers preserved in oil, I’d eat it if I found it in a time capsule 100 years from now. That stuff is the definition of put that sh*t on everything
