No! Mayo is so tricky.

If it looks okay, smells okay, isn't watery or discolored, I'd probably eat it. Mayo is tricky but if it's unopened and sealed it can be fine past it's due date.

I'd give it a try....it'll prob be ok...but Id use it all fast,like in mac or potato salad.

I would. I'll eat anything

There are probably some things I would, but not mayo.

I would at least open it smell it, and if it didn't stink taste it. They have to be careful with expiration dates. Febuary wasn't that long ago. Now if you had already opened it, I would say throw it out.
If it tastes fine, use it something that will take most of it. Like potato salad, chicken salad, a chocolate mayo cake.
