According to experts, the shelf life of food is sometimes not based on food safety, but on taste. Therefore, although some things have passed the shelf life, their edibility is absolutely no problem.

The media also summarized several foods that can be eaten after expiration. First, cornflakes. Corn flakes that have expired for more than a month, with a little taste, will never eat bad stomach. As long as it is baked again, it can restore crispness and put it in a sealed can to prevent moisture, which can continue to extend the edible period.

Chocolate can also be eaten for a long time. When it comes into contact with air, there will be a layer of gray toner or oil spots on the surface of chocolate. This is because fat crystals will float out after melting, so they will not be moldy. Eat it.

Storage conditions:

Chocolate is a very fragile and fragile product, and its storage conditions are very particular. In addition to avoiding sunlight and mildew, the storage place should not have peculiar smell, and the most important thing is to control the temperature and humidity.

The melting point of chocolate is about 36℃, which is a kind of food with strong heat sensitivity and difficult to preserve. The storage temperature should be controlled between 12- 18℃ and the relative humidity should not be higher than 65%. Improper storage will lead to softening and deformation, white surface, internal sand turning, odor or reduced aroma.

The unpacked or unused chocolate must be sealed with plastic wrap again and placed in a cool, dry, ventilated and constant temperature place. Chocolate sauce or stuffing must be kept in the fresh-keeping cabinet.

If you put chocolate in a place where the temperature is too high, large stripes or spots will appear on the surface. If placed in a humid and cold environment, a gray-white film may appear. These changes will not have much impact on the aroma and texture of chocolate, and it can still be used for cooking and baking.

If properly preserved, pure chocolate and bitter-sweet chocolate can be kept for more than one year, while milk chocolate and white chocolate should not be kept for more than six months. White chocolate may taste the same if left for too long, but it doesn't melt easily.
