Andrew, the same thing happened to me with some butter but mine was actually out of date by four days. I kept it in the fridge and gave it back to the driver when he brought my order the following week. If someone sighted hadn't noticed the date, I would have opened it and just put it in the butter dish. What I do now is write a note in the notes box after the item which says either longest date possible please, or, please check sell by date. Since I've been doing that, I haven't had the problem. Cheers for now, Sandra. ** Going on holiday and want to halt messages?
