Should I be concerned?

Post by Dakota »

I ate a BLT w/ mayo. When I was done, I was still slightly hungry so I was just going to make 1/2 tomato sandwhich, at this point I noticed that my mayo had expired last year!!!!

Considering it is made with eggs I am a little nervous, especially with the lectures I got from the Dr about what not to eat.

Should I just blow it off as it happens, or should I be worried?

it depends how long ago you ate and how you feel now. If you dont feel nauseous and and dont throw up in the next couple of hours, you will be fine. Did the Mayo smell funny? If not, you are probably ok. Just wait for your stomach's opinion though :?

The mayo is "work" mayo. I usually eat Dukes brand and not mircle whip, so it tasted funny, but I just thought it was because I don't normally eat miricle whip. I didnt smell anything funky about it though.

I have the worst taste in my mouth and my throat is killing me now. I guess I'll just have to wait it out and see, if I start to get sick I'll call the Dr.

Stupid, stupid stupid!!!

I think mayo in store brands are made with pasteurized eggs so the raw egg thing isn't really something to worry about.

If you don't feel sick/throwing up/diarhea I think you should be ok. Was the expired mayo brand new or in your fridge?

Try to drink lots of water to flush out anything that might have been bad in the mayo.

I think you'll be fine. If you don't have food poisoning by now you probably won't. I ate bad potato salad the other day with out realizing it. (I thought it tasted funny because it was potato/egg salad, which I never usually eat) and I'm just fine.
