There is still hope, it's Best by, not Use by
So many people interpret "best before" as "poisonous as hell after". Look at it, smell it, taste (a little bit of) it. If it passes all three, still perfect to eat.
Until its not
Be mindful of perishables left out of the fridge for a long time. Most of the time it is fine but in some cases it can cause illness.
Well, I store my food as recommended and treat the best before as written above. If stored in suboptimal conditions for extended time, most bets regarding the best before are off anyways.
