i have thrown away countless expired baby food jars, cereals, formula and more, but...
accourding to officals, baby food is fine to use after the expiration date.
meaning the expiration date just means that if used after that date, the food may not carry as many nutrients or vitamins, as the label advertizes, and that the food would not be harmful if not used.
would you feed your infant expired baby food? would you have limits, such as you would use expired formula but not expired jar food? do you think the "expiration" date should instead say "best if used by" instead? leave your opinion as a blog comment, and let others know what you think!
offical posting on expiration dates (scroll about halfway down for the "baby food" listing.
