I've just found an old 5kg tub of protein powder in my utility room. Only problem is it went out of date in May 2005

Sod it, its only powder, whats the worst that could happen?

 

you could die lol

 

not much, is it best by date or consume by date? theres a big difference.

 

Best Before.

I made a shake up with it yesterday and had a few sips. It seemed fine, just seperated in the milk after being sat for a while. Mind you it was only cheap stuff anyhow so would probably do this if in date. A quick shake and its fine again.

 

best by date dosn;t mean it will be bad for you, just means its best before that date, but could quite safely be consumed after that date. is the use by dates that are important.

 

fook that!! Whey protein is made from dairy / cheese and thats deffo not good if its out of date!!

 

Mate it has a date on it for a reason.....throw it away and treat yourself at Maccy Dee's.

 

Its made from milk yes but its been fairly well treated since it was that stage, not quite the same as having a carton in the fridge out of date by 3 years. Its pure isolate so stripped of fat etc and ionised. I know the dates are there for a reason but thats generally to safeguard makers and good will be OK long after that date. Its only powder, how badly can it go off? or what germs can form on it?? Genuine questions as I just dont know.

For the sake of a few quid its going in the bin anyhow.

 

you mong! no i wouldnt :P

 

Fuck off Fatty, you'd drink anything. pmsl. Especially if I said someone had jismed in it.

 

and you say you have muscle

use it as hair gel maybe? it would work a treat with you

 

I've drank far worse.

 

fuk it i'd do it but its prob lost is nutrients, maybe cook with it, flap jacks porridge etc

 

The empty tub is now being used for storage in my garage.

It did pain me to bin it all though
