There is still hope, it’s Best by, not Use by
So many people interpret “best before” as “poisonous as hell after”. Look at it, smell it, taste (a little bit of) it. If it passes all three, still perfect to eat.

Be mindful of perishables left out of the fridge for a long time. Most of the time it is fine but in some cases it can cause illness.

That program better be using an existing date library, because otherwise it’s most definitely wrong.
Best by ≠ Expiration date
It’s the truth, and I’m tired pretending it’s not.
