A 5 year old Pizza, is it still okay?


Recommended Posts

I don't think pizza or fishsticks that have expired 5-9 years ago are generally considered "safe" =P

The expiration date is for taste quality, and not the food itself. It's not tasty to eat, but frozen food is safe to eat even after a decade if kept frozen.

In my more wild, carefree days of high school (5 years ago), my daddy gave me his old mini-van. The furthest back seat was gone, and we used the empty spot to throw our trash, which mostly consisted of empty pizza boxes, since our favorite pizza place was just down the road from campus. We threw those boxes back there even if it still had pizza in it. It was the only place I junked up like that.

I cleaned that van out at the start of Spring where I found a couple of slices of pizza from the previous Autumn (at least 3-5 months old); we happened to scribble all over the box, so I knew exactly when it was from, though there were boxes and other junk dating back a year or more. I figured it had to have been frozen or at least "refrigerated" most of that time.

It looked good. I was hungry. So I ate one.

Totally worth it. And I was perfectly fine afterward.

Minus the drugs, sex and alcohol, I lived like a frat boy, back then.

Now I'm a mysophobic, neat-freak, girly girl with only mild streaks of "gross!" in her clean, organized life!
