Default Is my food still safe after the 'best before' date?

There use to be a bunch of threads asking whether something is safe to eat. Didn't know to stick this as a new thread, or put it in one of the older ones

Quote:
- Mayo good for 3-4 months past best before date
- Notice a bit of mold on your cheese? Cut away 2.5 centimetres around the mold and re-wrap the cheese. It'll be fine.
- Raw beef or pork roasts can sit in your refrigerator for three to five days. Chicken — on the other hand — should be used within a day or two of purchase. But throw the stuff in the freezer, and pork can be used within four to six months. Beef will be good for six to 12 months while chicken lasts for a year.
