Some foods can be eaten after the expiration date without problems. They might not look exactly the same as before or they may have lost some nutritional properties, but they can still be consumed without any harm to your health or cause any problems. Some foods don't show the expiration date, but a "best before" date, which means you can eat it after that, but it may have lost some of its original properties. Don't waste food and money by throwing away these products that you have in your fridge or pantry if they are still good.
