13 Foods You Should Never Eat Past the Expiration Date

12. Sprouts
Sprouts grow in warm, humid environments—ideal for bacteria. Eat within 2 days of purchase, or avoid entirely if pregnant or immunocompromised.

13. Shellfish
Raw shellfish should be eaten within 24 hours of purchase. Oysters past their date may contain Vibrio vulnificus, a potentially life-threatening bacteria. Any strong odor is a sign to discard immediately.

Final Note
When it comes to high-risk foods, expiration dates exist for a reason. If you’re unsure, it’s safer to throw it out than risk food poisoning.
