"Best by" dates
I have several cans of cat food (Innova, Nutro, and Whiskas) that have
been in the cupboard for quite a while (I now feed Wellness). These are all well past the "best by" dates. Should I throw them away or give them to a shelter? ---MIKE--- |

Throw them away. Would you give your own cats spoiled or expired food?

They suggest to give outdated food also if we have any. |

A bad practice. There is a reason they put dates on cans and packages. I
certainly wouldn't donate outdated packages of cat food to a shelter as I'd hate to be responsible for causing illness for the felines. -- Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your Computer Needs! www.members.cox.net/catprotector/panthertek Cat Galaxy: All Cats, All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com "m.

This should be fine to use. |
