Made an early lunch since I had no breakfast. Not much to eat…hmm. Got a can of tuna fish, celery, red onion and mayo. Tuna fish sandwich sounds good. But, no bread. Wait, I do have some OLÉ Mexican Foods brand “Extreme Wellness” keto-friendly wraps I relied on a lot when I was doing a low-carb thing awhile back. I’ve noticed before, those wraps seem to last forever in the fridge. They never go moldy like normal bread. Is it even real food? The plastic bag container says it’s made from “whole wheat and flax seed”. It also said "Exp: 11-17-202(smudge). I doubt the smudged part is a ‘3’. So it expired almost 2 full months ago, I’m assuming?!? Took out a wrap. It’s still soft and pliable. No sign of mold. Sniff test: smells fine! Sorta like bread. So, I went for it. And it was a perfectly tasty wrap. So, this isn’t a “stop me before it’s too late” post, it’s a “will I die? Or just wish I was dead?” post. I’m sure I’m fine…?

I think a fair rule of thumb is: if the product is vegetarian, your senses should do a reasonable job of determining if consumption will make you sick. But no doubt there are exceptions - I’m not an expert. I’d have eaten it, too. ---

These wraps last months after their posted date. Even though I keep mine in the bread box and not the fridge. I couldn’t possibly say why. Brioche contains fat that extends shelf life; these must have three mile island levels of preservatives or something… I won’t eat anything if it smells bad. Even the faintest inconsistent whiff. But plenty of things past dates pass the test. ---

The smudge could be an 8 or 9. Dude, it’s a tortilla: flour/ground seeds, and water. If there’s no obvious mold, you’re fine. Disclaimer: extra caution should be used by those with immune system conditions. I am not a doctor, and I’m for sure not _your_ doctor. Offer subject to terms and conditions. See store for details. Damn the man. Burn the patriarchy. ---
