How far passed the expiration can you eat cheese slices?

- Hard cheeses, such as cheddar, Parmesan, and Swiss, can often be eaten up to 6 months past the expiration date if they have been properly refrigerated.

- Soft cheeses, such as brie, cream cheese, and goat cheese, should not be consumed past the expiration date.

- Shredded cheese, regardless of the type, should also not be consumed past the expiration date.

In all cases, it's important to inspect the cheese slices for any signs of spoilage, such as mold or discoloration, before consuming. When in doubt, always discard expired cheese.
