Can I use a container of unopened sour cream with a past due expiration date? If so, how far past the expiration date?

expirationdateeggs.jpgThe date you see on the package is actually the "sell by" or "pull" date which is the last day the store can sell the product. Sour cream that has been continuously refrigerated can usually be kept 10 to 14 days after the "sell by" date on the package. If the contents develop an off flavor, odor or appearance discard it.
