It's up to you if you decide to eat something days beyond its use by date but if you are you're assuming you know better than the manufacturer.
Never been ill eating something past either its use by or best before. Had 2 yoghurts earlier that had a date of 13/07 on them. No ill effects/no puking/no nothing.
Made me chuckle. I was talking to a few industry bigwigs at an awards ceremony (I was a last minute replacement for someone important) and the scorn for free flowing... The head of one organisation said that they had to employ a director or millennials to try and damped their copious and ridiculous over entitled expectations.
I do enjoy a good ruck between them and the hilariously similar but won't admit it, baby boomers.

Pleased to hear it Golfie. If I were going to eat something 10 days past it's use by date I'd also chose a yoghurt as it's essentially a bowl of fermented milk alive with bacteria and acid anyway.
It doesn't mean any other type of food is still good to eat after it's use by date though.
People in shops who open the glass door on cold drink cabinets whilst looking at and choosing what they want....why? Look through the door ya twats....it's glass for a reason!

I'm sure the food chains build in a pretty big margin for error BA, if only to avoid constant litigation should people fall ill the day after a stated use by date. I wouldn't go around recommending people consume food past it's recommended date, but I think if you use common sense you are going to be okay. I wouldn't eat fish or shellfish past it's date for example. Don't know if you like me remember the days before we all had fridges, but we used to keep things like bacon and ham in the pantry for several days with no ill effect, so I am sure it will stay good much longer in a fridge.
