Someone has already said that use by dates are for perishable foods that need refridgeration, as a rule. Use by dates are a date that the manufacturer uses on food that they have microbiologically tested to prove that the growth of pathogenic bacteria will not reach a level that can harm a person. They usually have a 25% tollerance on that so a day or two out shouldn't be a problem. To sell in a retail shop past this date is an offence but at home most use the tollerance as well as the feel and sniff test. What foods should have use by dates? Usually cooked meats, soft cheeses, ready to eat foods, etc. Most things that contain proteins.
Food items like milk sometimes display use by dates but are not strictly hazardous. If you leave milk......eventually you have yoghurt. Nobody turns their nose up at that.

As I understand it, modern milk production kills all the bacteria in the milk - including the good stuff. It's the good stuff that makes yogurt (the stuff in Actimel etc).
If you leave modern milk it just rots. To make yogurt you have to add the bacteria somehow or use unpasteurised.
So, I would definitely recommend NOT eating milk that is obviously past its best.

isn't that a 'trip' as opposed to a 'shoot' ?

Pasteuration kills pathogenic bacteria. Pathogenic means harmful to man (or woman). It does not kill off all bacteria, so spoilage bacteria is still in the milk. This is for "normal" milk. If you want to kill off nearly all bacteria then it is a stage up from pasteurisation. This is Ultra High Temperature or UHT milk. This gets rid of the spoilage bacteria as well, hence a very long shelf life.

On Monday I bought a sandwich from Sainsbury's that was within the sell by date. Within 2 hours, my hands and feet were freezing and I was shivering so much that I had to put on another jumper. My guts have been causing trouble since then. I'm just about feeling normal again now. It goes to show that dates aren't necessarily a good guide.

takes longer than 2 hrs for food poisoning bacteria to get you

I think that common sense prevails here.
Some things are fine and other things, such as seafood will just make you very very ill.
I have to say though, that I have eaten a 47year old sausage (only this morning) and it did me the world of good! Highly recommend it.

If you get the bacteria that secretes toxins then you can get the effects of the toxins instantly. You usually can tell by the fact that what ever you have eaten...............has just hit the wall opposite.
The other types usually have a timeframe of 24hrs and above. If you get the squits then take off a 24hr time line and it was whatever you ate before that. So blaming he dodgy kebab is not always right lol
