Honey, those sell-by dates are just suggestions for the timid. If your pimento cheese looks, smells, and tastes fine, go ahead and enjoy it. Trust your senses, not some arbitrary date dreamed up by the food industry. Now go ahead and live a little dangerously with your cheesy snack!
The sell-by date on food products is a guideline for stores to know how long to display the product for sale. It is not a safety date. The safety of consuming pimento cheese after the sell-by date depends on factors such as how it has been stored (refrigerated at the correct temperature), if there are any signs of spoilage (such as off odor, mold, or unusual texture), and if the packaging is intact. If the pimento cheese appears and smells normal, it is likely safe to eat even after the sell-by date, but always use your best judgment and when in doubt, throw it out.
Well, hello there! It's always important to be mindful of food safety, but pimento cheese typically has a good shelf life if stored properly. If the cheese looks and smells fine, it should be safe to eat even after the sell-by date. Just give it a good sniff and a taste to make sure it's still fresh and delicious. Happy snacking, my friend!
I wish someone would answer this question. I want to know how long it is safe to keep opened pimento cheese refrigerated.

Depends on which kind of pimento cheese you have...
If you have a jar of pimento cheese spread which contains (Cheese, mayonnaise & pimentos) then the shelf life is 8-10 days.
If you have the sliced pimento cheese (loaf) then the shelf life is 4-5 days as sliced cheese tends to dry out..

What is the difference between sell by and use buy?
Sell-by is the date the store is supposed to be responsible for getting rid of it by. Use-by is the date guranteed safe to eat by, but they are supposed to be moddest and last beyond the expiration date (the use-by date).
How do sell by dates keep some food safe?
A sell-by date does not really keep food safe. It protects the processor and store from some liability and loss. For a potentially hazardous food, it would hopefully be sold well before before spoilage takes hold or any pathogens reach a toxic level - but then I'd expect an expiration date, not a sell-by. It is not the sell-by date alone that keeps food safe. It has to be handled and stored properly, too, including after the sale. Sell-by dates are usually guides for quality, not safety.

Can I use Bisquick after the better if used by date?
It all depends whether it is a sell by date, use by date, or a best before date. If it is a sell by, then that would be an earlier date than an 'eat by' date so it would probably be OK. If it is a best before, then it probably won't taste as good but will still be safe; if it is after a use by date then it may not be safe so you shouldn't eat it.

Several factors. Does it have a useby date? If so, if it is past it, do NOT use it. If you're less cautious or if it does not have a useby date, does it look discoloured or smell funny? If so, do NOT use it.
