Expired

I bought some super cheap expired protein bars that were dates 16months ago for expiry. Do you think its ok to eat them still? I would hate to get sick but I do hear that most supplement like products last quite a few years after expiring.

expiration dates for food are for "freshness", and not whether it's bad for you.

Protein bars do dry out - they'll be brick hard.

It should be safe to eat but the quality might not be the most desired.

the fact it is still good after that long tells you all you need to know about 'protein bars' which are extra processed

processed food is what is killing us most of all.

They're still fine to eat. Supplements don't really expire. That date posted on the label is a 'best before date' - not an expiration date

Just to be safe I wouldn't consume any product that has an expiration date two years or older but 16 months is totally fine

While they wont hurt you, there are much better food choices than candy bars. That is essentially what protein bars are.

I've probably got stuff in my fridge more out of date. BRB going to get a snack from the fridge.
