Hummus Is it still good past the expirations date?

[leqet]

I cleaned out my fridge this morning and I found two containers of hummus. One has an expiration date of May 22 so that one is fine, but the other one expired March 30. Two weeks ago. :sad: It's been sealed and sitting in the crisper drawer in the fridge. So what do you think? Is it safe to eat?

Well I decided to throw it out. It looked fine and smelled fine, but I didn't want to chance it. I'm just glad I got it for free with a coupon.

Hi leqet,

I have eaten Hummus that was 7 days past expiration, it smelled fine.
(I have a sensitve nose for mold)
It was Athenos Original--I probably wouldn't do that with the veggie ones like Roasted Red Pepper.

Thanks wealthybarney. This was Organic Tribe Hummus--the plain variety. I tossed it out because I just didn't want to get sick. But I'm really sad about it. I LOVE hummus. Oh well, I still have one good one. This was a good lesson to keep a closer eye on the expiration dates.
