Question 1

are there any ill effects of consuming an expired gnc  ripped vitapak?

Accepted Answer

Expired supplements: GNC supplements are usually in capsule form. They probably decompose sooner than solid pills. If the bottle was sealed and not open it may still be good if the expiration date is within 3-6 months. Once open to air it may not be good.

Question 2

can eating an expired frozen dinner make you ill?

Accepted Answer

Expired: Depends on length of expiration & if it smells/tastes bad when thawed.

Question 4

i took one bite of greek yogurt that expired a week ago and smelled vaguely of old socks. is it going to make me sick at all?

Accepted Answer

Refrigerated?: Hi. Assuming it was refrigerated, yogurt is good long past the expiration date. It will not make you sick.

Question 5

i think i ate a few expired famous amos cookies.they tasted fine, but the bag said "m10314 b6", so i didnt know what that meant. will it make me sick?

Accepted Answer

If you feel sick: go to your doc.  The cookies have an expiration date somewhere but it appears you didn't find it.  There are so many preservatives and chemicals in packaged foods that they last for a long time but do not have much nutrition.  Peace and good health.

Question 6

can expired multivitamins make you sick?

Question 7

can i take a one month old expired anitibiotic pills? will it still work after the expire date after one month old? will i get sick?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Probably, but as an expert I have to say do not take expired medication.

Question 8

i just seen my synthroid expired 13 months ago. i have been useing it for sometime now. will it still be effective i wonder or make me ill?

Accepted Answer

It will not be 100%: effective. Most prescription expiration dates are estimated to be two years from when it's manufactured. So if your Synthroid expired in March 2016, meaning it was manufactured in 2014. So in 2017, it may be only 50% effective. Since it's important to know if your synthroid is effectively treating your hypothyroidism, it's best to use Synthroid that's in date.

Question 9

normal? i drink a lot of milk then i didn't drink any for a week, then drank milk at home and got sick, not expired, could this be be the cause

Accepted Answer

Look elsewhere: Hi. If the milk was not bad, I'd look elsewhere for a reason for why you got sick.

Question 10

i accidentally ate peanut butter that expired. i thought it looked a bit odd but i didnt really pay attention. am i going to get sick ? i checked the date after?

Accepted Answer

: Maybe not. The use by date is something required of producers of food products by the FDA. It is a point up to which they consider the product will retain its taste and nutrition value. Beyond that date it may or may not retain taste/nutrient benefits. It doesn't automatically turn into food poison. Indigestion and or other gut issues would be expected if the material was really bad.
