For most things expiration dates are bullshit that’s more about profits or product flow than safety. Most things are usually more than fine for at least a few days after, and freezing meat extends it’s safe life by months.
To give you an idea how much expiration dates are bullshit, if you’ve ever been to a Sam’s they sell these enchiladas, pasta and the like that are just throw in the oven for a bit and eat and they’re all made with shredded chicken. They make these things in house, and they’re all chicken because the chicken comes from unsold rotisserie chickens that have been out too long that they pick all the meat off and shred. Because the expiry on them isn’t actually about food safety, and pulling them off the shelf, shredding and repackaging as chicken enchiladas or chicken pasta alfredo or whatever lets them invent a new mostly bullshit expiry date for the same chicken.
