Never heard of Quality Save - still got a load from when they were on offer at Morrisons a while ago - better check the date  ;) :rofl:

Don't worry - I've cracked open the dreamies! (89p in quality save btw  ;)).  They would probably be ok but I don't want to risk giving Jaffa an upset tummy.

Shame on you for hiding them from Jaffa for so long  ;)

They probably will be ok BUT I do not think I would risk it Susanne.  Get the Dreamies open  ;D

Hmm, but would they make them ill?  There are a few packets and it's only Jaffa who likes them but I don't want to make the little lad poorly.  I guess I'd better just throw them out and stick to the new packet of dreamies!

I think they would have lost their taste by now and I would chuck

I've found a load of packets of cat treats I didn't realise I had but they are well out of date.  My first reaction was to throw them all away but then I wondered if they would be ok or not?  They are air dried meat and the packets are all unopened.  The sell by date is Sept 2011 so they are a year out of date.  I don't really want to risk it but as the packets are unopened and sealed I am hesitating.  Are they likely to cause harm if I feed them?

They are these treats
