Can you eat gelatin after it expires?

Patient's question:

I want to buy a box of Ejiao to keep at home, but some people say that if Ejiao expires, it cannot be eaten because the components inside change and produce toxic substances. However, others say that the longer Ejiao is stored, the better it gets, and aged Ejiao has the best effect. Who is right? I'm planning to buy Ejiao.

Doctor's answer:

Hello. Any expired food should not be eaten. Expired food can cause many ingredients to deteriorate. Not only does it lack nutrition, but it can also contain harmful substances. Eating it is not beneficial for your health. It is recommended not to eat expired food. You should buy and eat fresh food. There is no need to buy too much and store it at home.
Hello. Pay attention to a balanced diet. You can eat more soybeans, black fungus, and jujubes. These are all beneficial for the recovery and nutrition of your body. All food should be bought and eaten fresh.
