you are very correct. with diagnosed diverticulosis any food borne illness could be life threatening. progressing to diverticulitis then perforated colon and abcess. im not sure what happened to me to cause the diverticulitis but i know what happened to cause the perforation and following abcess.

i still have pain from the operation but im glad its over.

these dates are very conservative estimates. For instance milk is an easy one. it can be consumed after the date on the carton safely, I have consumed such doing the old smell test for most of my almost 50 years without a hitch.

breads can mold and you may not see the blue stuff on them but most likely they are still good days after expiration.

many products it is the "best by" date and not an actual expiration of when you can safely consume.
