it's a best before, not an expiry. It's still safe to eat after
Yeah, but you can’t deny the fact that it got perishables(eggs) and anything with poultry or perishables are quite prone to growing bacteria’s…so it may not be a safer option..get you facts right ..
Mate I have a master's degree in nutrition and know the difference between a best before and am expiry. Perhaps the kewpie Mayo is an expiry date, not a BB? .

Mate I have a master's degree in nutrition and know the difference between a best before and am expiry.
But not enough education to understand the difference between a verifiable data & a hunch! Seems you wasted your Masters!
If you have a master's degree, you would have the training to assess facts, rather than go by your own supposition…
Perhaps the kewpie Mayo is an expiry date, not a BB?
Here, let me help you get your facts right:
Kewpie packaging shows a Best Before Date. Am reading that from the packaging.It doesn't take much education to read that fact😉
@DianaOfAmazonia: That you don't seem to understand the difference between what is printed on the label & the safety of eating the product is very worrying! Another of your inaccurate (& unsafe) assumptions.
Was the course that bad or you didn't learn from it?
(I've lectured & designed a Masters course in Science, if you want to throw academic qualifications around when it's irrelevant!)@bargainpersona: What are you claiming that I should feel silly about?? Why should I feel silly for correcting a false claim?
Maybe you should consider what was written before criticising another!!
I don't think you understand!The person claimed It's perfectly safe to eat for some point past the BB date.
That is pure overreach & unwise to claim. It is a popular idea, but depends on circumstances (especially in an egg yolk based product).
I replied Food safely has little to do with a date on a packet!
That is, you can't assess food safety just by a date stamped on a packet!
How is that silly?
You must have a very different idea of food safety if a stamped date is your only criteria!!It depends on many factors outside the control of the manufacturer (like optimal storage - eg food left at high temperatures can lead to unsafe eating). The Best Before date added by the manufacturer is only a guide.
Foods before that date may be unsafe to eat for many reasons. Food can be recalled on safety grounds. The date stamp is just a guide, not any surity of food safety.
So saying food is safe to eat (beyond the Best Before Date) is unfounded & unwise for someone claiming such an education.
@bargainpersona: Best Before Dates simply indicate the quality of the food should be acceptable until at least that date.
It's there simply to guide merchants on the shelf life of the product.
It says nothing about the safety of the food.
Making a claim about the safety of the food without any evidence is unwise & dangerous.
There is no justification to make the claim:
"It's perfectly safe to eat for some point past the BB date."!What if the food wasn't safe to eat before then…?
(It's up there with claims like the 5 second rule of food dropped on the floor… Some people believe it & tell others. Not based on evidence!)The best that could be said might be:
"If the food is known to be safe to eat (up to the Best Before Date), it possibly might be safe to eat for a while beyond that. Caution is advised. Expect deterioration in quality."They make look similar, but one relies on blind faith, the other on evidence. Food safety should not be based on assumptions!
Unfortunately there are rarely tests of food safety in cases like this - unless people become sick.
So there is no evidence for any claim of food safety!
But they do understand!
No! Someone citing a Masters qualification in this area should not be making such basic mistakes & giving such inadvisable advice regarding food safety without any evidence!
Report back with how silly you feel.
Yea, sure. I don't think I'm the one looking silly. How about you?😉
@INFIDEL: In response to some posts essentially saying that it is not unsafe to consume food that is past the best before date, you pounded out a dissertation saying that it is indeed not unsafe to consume food that is past the best before date under the proviso that it has not spoilt and any such spoilage would be for reasons that are independent of the presence or passing of any best before date.
Ultimately, you got all worked up while arguing with nobody in particular about how food is capable of spoiling and shouldn't be eaten if it has.
@bargainpersona: You claimed they understood despite making a potentially dangerous & unfounded claim about safety of eating a food they have no knowledge of…
And I should feel "silly" for pointing out the error in their claim!
I am quite used to holding different views to what people want to believe. But I have never been proven wrong (so far).
Rather the opposite has been my experience. When people considered my argument, they came to understand & support it.
(A University Director lost her job after I exposed her. A student challenging the actions of a senior staff member… People thought I was crazy, but later realised I was correct.)In my academic work I read theses that claimed results not borne out by the research. It's a very serious matter. Others rely on the outcomes of research to guide further understanding.
That's why I was brought in to redesign a research Masters course. Despite years of degree work, students often made basic mistakes that their education had taught them not to make. They just didn't think! I changed that!People often make simplistic & unfounded claims. They misread complex information & jump to the wrong conclusion. Or dumb down the information, omitting important facts. Unfortunately they believe they are correct. So pass on their misunderstanding
But when someone claims a specialist knowledge in the field, & makes such a mistake - it needs to be corrected so others don't spread the incorrect information!
Strangely you want that incorrect information to be believed!
No one can say anything about the safety of eating a food based on it's Best Before Date.
It is just an indication of the suitability of the product to be sold (the manufacturer's assessment of the quality of the product at a set date after manufacturing), not the food safety of the product.
In warehousing - It's a means of selecting stock to move for sale based on the oldest BBD first.
People often confuse the two.
A food can be unsafe to eat, but be within the Best Before Date, & visa versa.Only by testing the product can any claim about food safety at that time be made.
If you don't see that as very different to the unwise claim made
"It's perfectly safe to eat for some point past the BB date."
then you don't understand.That's a potentially unhealthy belief to hold!
@INFIDEL: Ha ha ha ..spot on mate ..you hit the nail on the head.. if she is got masters degree she will be educating people to eat heathy nutritious diet ..unlike mayo that got lots of eggs and oil…
@Sunnyoz: What's wrong with mayo that got lots of eggs and oil…! (In moderation)
Made a batch of Japanese convenience store style egg mayo sandwiches with standard Kewpie yesterday - delicious😋
Don't think I'd ever use this MILD Kewpie! Put it back on shelf after reading contents.
Yes, some people in the population would rather put their “fate” into “science” and specifications declared on paper and may ignore the realities of perishable food… maybe the kewie is a special kind like the meal that hasn’t spoil since 2009 https://www.kidsnews.com.au/health/mcdonalds-burger-and-frie… 😑
There is a difference between the displayed Best Before Date (which can be affected by many factors like storage conditions) and how long it is safe to consume after opening.
Recommended USDA storage life of mayo about 2 months in fridge before deterioration affects quality. Similar advice on other sites.
Safe consumption is another matter.1kg is a large quantity to get through.
I've stored 300g Kewpie (3 different flavours) in the fridge for 2 months without noticing any change in flavour.
That’s only if you buy just 1 Kg 🤪
Kewpie Mild* - Arguably not the good stuff
About to be Kewpie Sour
The lesser & cheaper MILD Kewpie! Not same as usual Kewpie.
Stock left from previous Deal @ same store on 20/6 reduced further $1
The shop that everyone wears mask. I was like, am I in hospital isolation.
Victoria gov requires everyone to wear mask now.
That's a whole other country tho.
It doesn't require it. It's not mandated it's a recommendation if cannot safely socially distance.
3 bodies in Wolli Creek in the past few days. I’ll pass. 😬
Were they mayonnaise related deaths?
No - but all ongoing police investigations. There’s something very wrong going on in Wolli Creek right now and I’m not about to be caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, lol.
Lol so consume more than 150g a day for the next 6 days?
