       Looking for some honest advice. This says “best before” July 2019. It’s in a glass jar and the lid has not “popped”. Main ingredients are tomato, tomato paste, onion and sugar plus some herbs. Think it’s still ok for human consumption?

       @nchia Turnt tomato sauce should be pretty easy to suss out by nose and palate. That’s not something that ages well and should be obvious.

       @nchia It's probably fine... but why would you risk it?I think the expiration date on those sealed jars have more to do with nutritional quality.I think botulism, from what I know, would get going long before the expiration date. So I don't think that's an issue.So, if you open it and it passes the smell and sight test, heat it and eat it! I think...A lot of "I thinks" in there. But I've read a good bit on botulism... that's the only thing you couldn't see or smell. I think.

       @nchia - Best not to chance it. Preservatives may not have preserved it well.

       @nchia If the seal isn't broken I would think it is ok. I just used some marinara sauce with a similar date and I am still alive.

       @Liberty_Freedom @MusicAndFiction @h53pilot @Sunliver Thank you all. Smells normal, tastes ok - can't compare as I've never really tried this flavour.I've cooked and eaten half a jar. So I’ll update in a day. Or never…! 😬

       @StockliRacer @Liberty_Freedom @MusicAndFiction @h53pilot @Sunliver I suppose to do it properly, you need to prepare your own sauce, with fresh herbs!

       @StockliRacer @Liberty_Freedom @MusicAndFiction @h53pilot @Sunliver Oh, by the way, happy to report I'm still alive and did not seem to have any ill effects.

       @StockliRacer @Liberty_Freedom @MusicAndFiction @h53pilot @Sunliver And I'd say they didn't keep it in their range either.https://leggos.com.au/our-range/pasta-sauces-and-bakes/pasta-sauce
