Because it's a load of bull,All you have to do is smell it,if it does not smell bad it's not (according to some food scientist) I believe it to be true.

26th June 2013 #7they have to date it earlier than it needs to be
The simple rule is if you unsure smell the food,if it doesn't smell off it's not
I tried it with prawns-which are probably as dangerous as chicken if off,I'm fine this morning

The well out of date food can normally be found at restaurants employing illegal immigrants

... just READING this thread, is enough to make someone like me - whose appetite is legendary - go on an immediate "crash diet"!

You sound just like my wife Les
If it smells OK then it is.....
As others said there are a number of clues, Best Before dates, Display by dates and Use by dates.
My wife has used her 'nose' ever since we've been together and we're still here
Personally, I put chicken at the top of my danger list followed closely by pork, and I do take care.
Often my wife has eaten out of date pork where I have not. But she's shaky on chicken.
For vegetables and salad stuff I completely ignore those dates.
Oh, with seafoods I'm also very careful. Can be much more dangerous than just out of some date.
Although I doubt a day or two would be any difference.

I buy nothing but frozen cooked chicken breast strips ( decent quality ones).
Easy to cook, no bones, no waste and no worries about freshness.

Don't know what you think Graham, but these days you can buy a 'fresh' chicken or chicken portions so cheap, freeze and cook yourself no problem.
The only time I'll buy cooked chicken is the rotiserie chicken from Costco
When I was a kid we only had chicken at Christmas.
I love chicken, especially chicken breast. My wife loves to chew on them bones. Wings, ribs and legs
Works good for me

That's what I thought the first time I saw the dated eggs! We used to have a sari-sari store in Manila and we sell eggs and I've never seen them have dates!
Keith always tells me to throw away stuffs like bread, milk, etc. after 3 days. I'm not used to that. When I was in the Philippines, as long as I can't see a mold and it doesn't smell, it's still okay. I've never got sick! It's a waste for me throwing it just like that. Good thing though I can feed the bread to the birds.
I just do what Keith wants with his food now. But I don't want him get food poisoning like the last time he had at the RAF (he said around 30 of them got food poisoning because of under cooked chicken).-=rayna.keith=-
