My Question .. 

I bought a box of brown sugar a while ago and transferred

its contents into a L&L container.  The BB Date on the box

was May 12, 2017.  In your opinion do you think the sugar

is still good to use?  (It is now July 23, 2017) ..

Thank you..

[MalteseMomma]

Absolutely !!!  IMO!

[KailaS]

Yes!  

[panda1234]

YES

[De Anna]

Yes! I've used brown sugar from almost a year. Perfectly fine.

I don't like to use things after the expiration date, though some things do last longer.

I think it's risky and would discard it.  You know some spices actually form parasites after awhile and can make you very ill.   Just sayin.........

I've been baking for roughly 1,000 years.  I don't pay attention to the sell by dates on sugar. If it's still soft enough to use, I wouldn't worry about it.  Of course I'm not the FDA, but I can't imagine a problem unless it was stored in unusual conditions - like a very hot place, for instance.

I'm old enough to remember when nothing had an expiration date!  And I haven't expired yet from eating anything

I'm not a real date conscious person; neither are my family.  

If the milk sours, I use it up by making biscuits or cornbread.   I still need to use up 2 blocks of cream cheese I bought last year for Christmas.    

We just finished a lasagna made with cottage cheese that expired months ago.   It was unopened, store upside down in the fridge, and tasted as good as if I'd just bought it that day.   I know people who seem to live by the dates on their food.
