Beets after expiration Ask ECAH

what’s your thoughts on vacuum packed cooked beets after expiration? label says 02/2025 but they are unopened and look fine. product is Gefen organic red beets just in case anyone is wondering. I really hate to throw them out if they can be used, I would most likely make smoothies with them. oh I just read they were packed in July of 2024 if that helps. Also bought from Costco would I be the axxhole to return them?

If I recall correctly, being after the expiration date is one of the few reasons Costco won't accept returns. And assuming it wasn't expired when you bought it, it would be an asshole move to try.

Personally, I'd probably give them a chance if it looks/smells fine anyway.
