Just found three packs of Halloumi cheese in the back of the fridge with best before dates of 03/22. Do you think it’s still edible?
Give it a go, smell test first though 
(isn’t that the cheese you have to cook?)
yes 
@SuePJ We have packs in the freezer from a couple of years ago but I suppose that’s different. I agree with @mark about the sniff test and if you cook it and it tastes remotely iffy, I’d bin it. Does seem pretty everlasting though…
I use all sorts of old stuff, I’d open it, smell, inspect then decide! We have yogurt that is over 3 years old, we are doing an experiment! We found 4 or 6 way at the back of the fridge already a year out of date. Perfect. Hubby now opens one once a year 
Saying that I had some feta in oil I found, waaaay out of date but sealed and in the fridge and it was no good, had brown spots on the cheese.
Found that as well. That’s going out.
I soooo glad that it’s not just us who don’t clear out the fridge on a frequent basis

I’ve discovered we have 4 unopened jars of poivrons! That’s because OH looked in the fridge and couldn’t see any so bought another 2 after I’d bought 2 the day before! Mind you, he quite often can’t see what’s right in front of his nose anyway, so this may not be due to the state of our fridge which I am now tidying and cleaning. Feeling very virtuous.

The irony is I’m quite good at it, AND we’ve changed fridges about 4 times and those 2 jars of feta have just been cleaned and moved
I am rediscovering the joys of ancient fridge contents. When Fran died all the health visitors stopped coming instantly and my fridge was scrupulously cleaned every Wednesday afternoon by the wonderful Chrystelle.
