exp date on frozen fuit pie

[genthon]

Will a fruit pie be safe to eat when exp date is Feb last year? Even if ok I guess quality won't be good?

[jenty]

i wouldnt risk it not over a year old...it must have been buried deep in your freezer to have been there that long...

[boxtops]

I'd eat it - waste not, want not. There is stuff in my freezer a lot older than that. Fruit and veg is frozen for much longer commercially.

[jamesnan]

Only fruit in it, so I would eat it, can't see there will be much of a problem with it.

[enfable]

I think it would be ok to eat.

[ladyalex]

I'm with boxtops. I'd eat it.

[maggiebee]

Definitely eat it!

[gingejbee]

Completely safe - but a bit jaded.

[genthon]

Thanks all but I chickened out and dumpedit!!

[welshlibranr]

What a waste - I eat lots of things that are supposedly out of date and I am still here. Not meat products like sausages though. Just finished some cheese and onion crisps best before date 29th November 2011.

Just got some 'Just Roll' pastry out of the freezer & thats dated Dec 2011
I've got some Bramley apples & tomorrow we're having Apple Pie.
The date on it refers to how long you can keep it in normal circumstanses But when you freeze it it will last for years.
Remember Scott & Oats on their Antartic expedition, they left food behind and it wasn't found for years but the experts said it was still edible after being frozen all that time.

I would eat it as it has been frozen all that time. If you die then we will all come and honour you at your funeral.

Good plan, eh?

After being made redundant at the pit I worked for 12 years at a factory making cakes pies etc for several Super Markets and the product wasn't labeled until dispatch so an apple pie could have been in the factory deep freeze for a year but it's best by labels etc were only stuck on the box when it was packed for dispatch. It's 10 years since I finished so things could have changed but I doubt they've changed that much

I've eaten things after a couple of years, it would have been fine.lol.
