it looks fine tbh

Shelf stable whipping cream from TJ, expiration date is January 2026. It’s a seasonal item and I purchased several before Christmas, but forgot a couple of them in my pantry. Package is fine, not puffy or damaged. Can I still use them or should I toss?

They expired in September of 2025 and smell a bit stale. I had one earlier and it didn't taste rancid or anything. It's opened, but it's pretty much a full box. I don't want to throw it away if it won't make me sick, so is this safe to eat?

New to cooking meat and afraid to get sick, the pans I have were dirty so I used a pot with butter and seasoning and just let the raw shrimp lay flat flipping every 2-3 minutes and letting the water in the shrimp boil out. Cooked for about 10 minutes.

Would this be fully cooked?

Basil safe or nah?

Got two bags of these two weeks ago, ate a couple (they looked normal), popped them back in the freezer, went out of town for a week, and now both bags (one was towards the back and the other was in the door) look like this. Is this normal? Is something up with my freezer? Seems really odd for something that was $5/bag to get so unappetizing so quickly.

saw these meatballs at the market and the packaging was inflated. the ones next to these looked vacuum sealed.

It has kind of a weird smell i think ? I never smelled raw chicken before

I bought this container of grated parmesan cheese earlier today. All of the containers available for purchase had similarly swollen tops.

As you can see, the best by date for this cheese isn’t until December.

I do live at high altitude (more than 6,000 feet above sea level), but I don’t typically have issues with food packaging swelling here.

Is this safe to eat, despite the safety seal swelling? Thank you in advance!

Disclaimer: Currently pregnant so overthinking food.

I was eating Kirkland roasted unsalted cashews and am picking and choosing the “normal” looking ones. The ones like these in the photos keep throwing me off. Is this normal?

All of them taste ok, except one bitter one I had but that seems to be an odd man out.

Freshly bought and opened 2 days ago BB 04/01/27

Is this acceptable?

I bought this honey from Costco about two weeks ago and haven’t used it yet. Pulled it out of the cabinet to find this. I’d typically just assume it’s crystallized but the darker black spots are throwing me off. Looks a bit fuzzy as well.

UPDATE: After submerging the container in warm/hot water. The area in question cleared up. NOT MOLD. THANKS!

i also put it in the fridge right when i brought it inside. i didnt know it had arrived 2 days earlier than expected and i didnt get a notification which is why it was left for so long. it was $50 and not eligible for a return or refund. im trying to contact support but. do i eat the loss, or eat the caviar?

This salami has no casing. About an hour of googling has me confused. Sopresatta typically has a casing with white fiore. But this is just mold right on the meat.
