I work for a place that sells food (Big Lots) alot of which comes to us from other places on a "close out" basis. Once an item reaches it's expiration date, we have to destroy it and discard it. That being said, when I was a Yute, if it didn't grow fuzz and smell funny, it got consumed! Once I caught my little boy in the refrigerator eating something. I asked him what it was and he said it was just some strawberries. Then he told me he especially liked the fuzzy ones! I looked into the tub of berries and saw the nastiest fungus covered mess and realized he had already eaten several! Anyway, he lived. I think people can eat alot more garbage than we realize, with little to no ill effect. Hope the meatballs work out for ya!
