Here is an interesting article on the safety of using food after the
"seel-by" date, including milk, meat, other fresh stuff and really old
cans of food.

I'll still go by the dates. I know that my expired canned tomatoes had a
very bad texture. And my bread goes moldy the day after it expires.

I freeze whole wheat bread and butter.

Me too. My kids like their bread less grainy then mine so I leave theirs
in the fridge. I live in the sub-tropics and learned the hard way that
bread couldn't be left at room temp for long.

Here, I only seem to have a problem when it's really rainy.

I sometimes freeze leftover bread for stuffing. But I won't eat it as is.
For me the texture changes too much.

I almost always freeze the low carb bread as itis not alwasy in the stores
so i like to have some in reserve. It also keeps well inthe fridge, which
surprised me as it is saidin advice columns that you shouldn't refrigerate
bread because it doesn't help. I don't find this advice to be true for
the low carb breads, at least.

I also keep canned goods way beyond the pull dates and have not found any
problems or real change in texture.

The low carb store here keeps the low carb bread frozen. But I have never
tried it.
