It should be fine. If it smells ok and the colour is normal, no problem

As long as you haven't already opened it it should be OK. It would certainly smell nasty if it was rancid. Shops tend to err on the side of caution with their sell by dates.

I'm with all of the above. I used some recently which was much further past its sell by than that and I am still here.
