The "sell by" dates on food products aren't a reliable means of telling whether or not a food is safe to eat, according to The National Resource Defense Council.

Fortunately, determining whether or not a food has gone bad is fairly straightforward, and requires just a small amount of know-how. Read on to find out if you should eat it or toss it.
