A few years ago, while at my Aunt’s house for Christmas I noticed her cinnamon tin on the table while desert was being served. I grabbed it to see if there was a date of some sort on it…this thing had to easily be from the 80s! Believe it or not, there was no date at all, I think it was made before dates on food were even required. I blow through jars of cinnamon on the regular so I couldn’t believe she still has this. I was also grossed out at the same time!
It’s so important that we throw out expired food…whether it be in our fridge or in our pantry. Check at least seasonally to see if you’re harboring expired stuff that you could chuck in the trash. And/or, when things are just about to expire, whip up a few meals to use them up.
Merry Christmas!
