CP sometimes get out of date food sent from Purina (Felix & Gourmet pearl) sometimes it is a few months out of date and it is fine.

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

I'd would feed them to my lot .... when you open the pouch you will be able to tell if it is "off".  I would expect them to be ok for 17 days after the best by date.
In ancient times cats were worshiped as gods; they have not forgotten this.

hi, i was just wondering if it would still be ok to feed them it, its natures menu pouches, that say best before 10th july, i only have a few left and i would take them till the 27th july to eat....so 17 days out of date

usualy if it was something i would eat it wouldent bother me unless its fermenting or growing mould!! but i didnt want to make them ill

thanks
