Can expired food cause harm?

Question

Soooo this morning I bought trail mix from Kroger. I just grabbed the first bag and ate about 4 handfuls and realized it had a “best by date” of Jan 7, 2011. I feel fine right now and no side effects but just curious if this could cause harm? Does anyone know? I’m 12+4 today!

Answer

Im sure you’re probably fine, just watch for signs of food poisoning but if it expired 8 years ago I would definitely take it back so they can check their stock and either replace it or refund your money. A lot of foods are fine past their best by dates but that’s a bit too far past lol

Answer

Nuts do go rancid eventually, but you’d probably have tasted a difference.
