In a simple answer, no. This would cause health concerns for humans or pets. Or it could make them sick. Have you ever seen/smelled old milk?

No, because they might make someone sick if they are eaten. Someone who has a compromised immune system may get very ill if they were to eat these products.

Stores should not be able to sell things past the date set by the manufacturer. The date is there for a reason, to protect the consumer.
