Fresh off our massive win for Best Radio Breakfast Show at the NZ Radio Awards, the team is tackling the ultimate household divider: grocery expiration labels!

Simon admits that his daughters are incredibly precious when it comes to checking the dates on food items, refusing to touch anything even a minute past its prime. But are they just overreacting? The studio line blew up, and listener Tracey called in with an absolute all-timer of a story that completely resets the boundaries of how far is too far with expired food.

Where do you stand? Are you a strict "throw it out" family, or do you trust the good old-fashioned sniff test?
