Expiration dates are useful, but they are not usually a hard end point to a food's safety or edibility.

One's own nose is usually the best way to see if old food is edible. Doesn't smell good enough to eat? Don't eat it.

My sense of smell is pretty bad. I only keep milk in my fridge for coffee so it lasts a while, and once it's past the date I smell it every day assuming it could have gone bad. Usually it hasn't, but occasionally it has curdled into chunks, and apparently I can't tell the difference with my nose - only once the pour feels "off" or the chunks make their way into my coffee can I have any better indicator.
