Is it still safe to eat?

[valhalla]

I am WAY over-the-top crazy about food safety, storage, handling etc.  I throw a LOT of food away because of expiration dates, etc. etc.  Of course, no one has ever gotten sick from my kitchen, but I am kooky about this.  A friend sent me the following link, which contains some great information and will assist me when I start "tossing" again (I cleaned the pantry 2 days ago - canned tomatoes - gone!).

Why canned tomatoes Janet...did they expire? This is a very handy website.... thanks.

They were past the "best by" date.  Donna, I am nuts about this, so this site might save me some $$, as I'll keep the tomatoes and use them 2 days later, rather than tossing them.
