Question I have a Sam's Club spiral cut ham. I was going to use it today, but noticed that it says use by Jan 19, 2009, today is February 6, 2009. It looks okay and does not smell. Please let me know if you think it is still good.
Thank you
Josie
Answer Most expiration dates are used by manufacturers to ensure the product quality and freshness is retained when used. These dates have little to do with the safety of the product. If using an expired product some spoilage may have occurred, but this is typically not harmful, particularly if the product is cooked when used.
