I had an unopened container of cottage cheese in the refrigerator with a sell-by date of October 29. There was no mold, it smelled fine, and the protein shake I put it in tasted normal. I used ½ cup. I didn’t even think about how far past October 29th it actually was until I drank the whole thing.

Should I be alright? If it indeed was bad, what will probably happen? Just an upset stomach or violent vomiting/diarrhea? I’m concerned that I’ll puke at work, which would really suck. How long would the sickness take to kick in after ingestion and about how long would it last?
