Expired date on Queso Fresco

[Starkman]

Hello all,

I have a small package of Queso Fresco Casero (whole milk) cheese that shows an expiration date of July 9, 2009. It was purchased from a local store.

Question: is the cheese still safe to eat?

Next Question: If it still is safe to eat, when should it be tossed?

Thanks,

Starkman

Personally... cheese can stay until it is hard and brown or soft and green

Smell it

The cheese will be safe to eat, but the whole point of a Fresco cheese is that it has kind of a fresh taste, like fresh mozzarella.

I would toss it. Go get some more.

I find queso fresco doesn't last too long. If you see any pink, toss it.

[crinoidgirl]

I agree. Any pink and it needs to go out, regardless of expiration date or when you purchased it.

Toss it.

Great. Thanks for the input.
