Can i eat creamed smoked roe 3 years past "best by" date

I'm debating whether to eat this Swedish product "Kalles Creamed Smoke Roe" that I've had in the fridge for 4 years. The tube is sealed and it looks like it has a lot of preservatives. The ingredients are: sugar salted cod roe, rapseed oil, sugar, potato flakes, tomato paste, salt, potassium sorbate, ascorbic acid.

Should I try a little first and see if I get sick? Throwing it out is not really an option if it's still edible.

Is It Normal?

  • Feed it to the cat. Or local wildlife. They will thank you for it, and you won't be risking your health. Problem solved.

    This is how I developed a symbiotic relationship with local wildlife. I feed them throughout the winter and spring. They started bringing me snacks (fruit and nuts) in the summer and autumn. It's amazing, and I never saw this coming when I started sharing my lunch, and then leftovers, with local wildlife.

    • They can find their own food. Seafood is a luxury to them, they didn't earn it.

  • 'Best by' is different than use by, I'd open it and sniff/taste test

  • Sure you can. You can do whatever you want to. it's not wise, but you can still do it.

  • Oh sure...the expiration date on seafood is merely a suggestion.

    I only buy outdated, discount seafood & it's not once interrupted my continuous bouts of diarrhea & vomiting.

    • At least your digestive system is working.

  • I'd toss it. I remember once using unopened refrigerated barbecue sauce two years past the due date and getting sick. I don't mess with shit like that anymore.

    • Can't you tell if it's gone bad? BBQ sauce is almost entirely sugar, I don't see how that could go bad.

  • NO! Not unless you want to make yourself very sick. Best by dates are on there for a reason and in the case of seafood should be taken literally.

  • What are your health insurance coverage and/or local A&E / ER waiting times like, and is there anyone in your home who could drive you there?

    • If I eat a little bit at first it won't be that bad.
