I think if you die from eating whipped cream on strawberries that it would
be a grand way to go. Ranks right up there with getting run down by a
motorcycle at prayer meeting. Polly

Whipping cream has a longer than expected shelf life because it's
often ultra pasteurized... whipping cream is not a big seller and it's
too pricy an item to have it spoil prior to sale.

I almost bought whipping cream today. The expiry date was mid June
2011. I wonder what nasty stuff is in it to make it keep so long.
Yes, you might die. e
I think you have to dump it. I would have dumped long before that. I would
go a month, max and dump after.
The FDA may have advice about this. you might hunt for that.

It's been a few hours. Still alive?
I don't know enough about preservatives to say whether this is a fluke but I
know heavy cream lasts well past its expiry date even after opening as long
as it stays in the coldest part of the fridge.
Package dates take into account the worst case scenario, because the
producers only have to harm one person out of thousands to find themselves
in a world of hurt. I also wonder if package integrity has something to do
with it.

......the total gullibility of the morons buying the product. It's jes
a merchandising gimmick to make the rubes think the dates are relevant
to anything at all. Sealed cans are designed to retain their
integrity for a min of five years. A can of Budweiser with an
expiration date is complete nonsense.
Like most things in life, you jes gotta be smarter than the tool. I
had a resealable bag of generic cheapo brown sugar I never opened.
Within three months it was hard as a rock. I currently have a half
used bag of C&H cane brown sugar in the same type of resealable bag.
It's four months old and as soft as the day I bought it. What have I
learned? Don't buy cheap crap brown sugar. What did the dates tell
me? Who knows, I didn't look. Nothing of value, I'm sure.

The bad thing about Redi-Whip is that it doesn't last (in formation,
that is). You can't decorate a pie or whatever hours ahead of time
and put it in the fridge - it will collapse into a puddle, at least in
my experience. When I use "from scratch" whipping cream, I add
powdered sugar (instead of granulated) or some "just whites" (powdered
meringue) to stabilize it.
But Redi-Whip is real cream, unlike Cool Whip.

The canned stuff is a poor substitute for real whipped cream. We almost
always have a pint of it on hand because I make ice cream. I have a
cousin who used to work in a dairy and would bring my mother quarts of
whipping cream. She would make something like cream puffs or chocoalte
eclairs to use some of it. She froze the rest of it. She would sweeten
it and hip it up, put newspaper on a cookie shoot and put globs of the
sweetened whip cream of it. The sheet went into the freezer. After the
globs were frozen they were individually wrapped. When we needed some
whipped cream we just got them out of the freezer an or or so ahead of time.

That might have been a function of humidity. I use only very dark brown
sugar for hot or cold cereals. Sometimes I get it at the bulk store and
sometimes I get it from bulk bins. I store it in a Rubbermaid cannister
with a piece of bread in it. Every week or two I fill up the brown sugar
bowl. During the summer I have no problems with it firming up. During
the winter it starts to harden within a day. I had to get one piece of
unglazed clay to use as a humidifier.

We buy "ultra-pastuerized" dairy products where they're available.
Their expiry dates are always longer than regular pastuerized. Haven't
killed anyone in the house yet.
OTOH, I haven't seen a couple of my recent house guests lately...
