Is it healthy? Will it expire?

Food safety issues emerge one after another, and many people pay more and more attention to the harm caused by expired food to human body, but in fact, many expired foods will not have an impact. The so-called shelf life of food does not mean the last edible period, but it is best to eat it within the shelf life.

But not long after the shelf life, the food is still well sealed, the storage conditions are normal, there will be no deterioration, and it will not cause harm to the human body after ingestion. However, if the expired food is left for too long, and it is overdue for more than half a year or even several years, this situation is likely to worsen. Some packages may be damaged, and the deteriorated food will cause harm to human body if ingested, depending on the situation.

Which foods have expired, and it is best not to eat them?

1, expired edible oil

Don't eat some kinds of food when it is expired, so as to avoid health problems, especially edible oil. Every household will use edible oil, among which olive oil, rapeseed oil, peanut oil and lard are more common. These edible oils can also provide energy and nutrition.

However, edible oil needs to be used within the shelf life after opening. Don't use barrel oil for more than three months, because it is easy to breed bacteria when it is opened, and there is a risk of deterioration if it is left for too long, which will have an impact on health after ingestion.

2. Expired meat

Many foods have a short shelf life, and if they continue to be ingested after expiration, they may cause diseases, especially meat foods. Meat itself can provide rich trace elements, protein and amino acids for human body, but its storage conditions are strict, and it is easy to deteriorate quickly due to the influence of environment and time. After deterioration, bacteria can easily invade and affect the functions of multiple systems. Therefore, special attention should be paid to meat. If it can't be eaten in a short time, it needs to be frozen in the refrigerator, otherwise it will be kept at room temperature for no more than one day.

3. Expired eggs

Ensuring a safe diet is the key to staying healthy. However, if the eggs have passed the shelf life and are left for too long, they should not be ingested. Because the shelf life of eggs is short and the environmental temperature is high in hot summer, eggs are easy to deteriorate. Therefore, it is best to take a small bowl before boiling eggs, put the eggs in the bowl, observe whether the yolk is scattered and smell the smell at the same time. If there is an unpleasant smell, it means that it is easier to deteriorate, and it will also breed bacteria and affect your health. It is best not to continue eating after the shelf life.
