I've had sour cream that was way past the use by date, but not opened, and it
was fine. I've also had sour cream that was opened and been in the fridge for
a couple of weeks, that started to grow funny coloured mould.

So I think it's a case of use it quickly, and don't leave it sit opened for
too long.


When you think about it, it's really quite funny.... having a "use by date"
on sour cream!!
