A member asked:

I accidently ate a chocolate cookie that has been expired for several years. could this be a problem?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely not: Other than taste odd, I don't see it causing any real problem. The FDA requires producers to label processed foods with a use by date. It is an estimate not a rule.
