expired products

Beyond their date

Products that have passed their designated date of safe or optimal use.

The term applies most often to food, medicine, and cosmetics—anything with a shelf life.

Check the pantry for expired products before restocking.

Expired products may be unsafe, ineffective, or simply past peak quality, depending on what they are and how far past the date.
