There is a staggering £295 million worth of out of date tins, tubs, herbs and spices hidden in the back of kitchen cupboards, after a study of British kitchens found the typical household pantry contains nine items (worth around £12) whose sell-by date has long since passed.
Mixed spices, soup, herbs, baking soda and tinned fruit are the most common goods to be found languishing at the back of cupboards. Sauces, stock cubes, mustard and pickled onions also emerged as items which are rarely used and often go beyond their date before being used.
Most of that stuff will still be edible decades after the "best before"- who cares?
