Expired

[Jferstler]

English ----> Spanish

"Expired"

As in: "Don't drink that milk, it's expired!"

[chileno]

Expiró. (la fecha)

[pjt33]

In Spain "ha caducado".

[aleCcowaN]

In Argentina: "Está vencida" (la leche)

expiration date (shelf life of food) = (fecha de) vencimiento

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

In Mexico we also use "caducar" or "estar caduco(a)"

- ¡No tomes/bebas esa leche, ya está caduca! / ¡No tomes esa leche, ya caducó!
Don't drink that milk, it's expired!

- La leche caducó la semana pasada. / La leche caducó hace 3 días.
Milk expired last week. / Milk expired 3 days ago.


Expiring date: "Fecha de caducidad".

- La fecha de caducidad (ya) está vencida.
Expiring date has passed.

En Chile se usan/usaban las dos.

Vencimiento/caducidad.

Yes Chileno, I agree with you, but Caducado is more nature form in my country. It's strange to uses Expirado in food or aliment case.

Always I tend to use caducar is my prefer choices.

[pierrre]

In the West Indies, when referring to expired milk, we often say that "the milk is spoilt" or that "the milk is turning". Both statements in essence mean that the milk is expired. Are such statements made in other cultures and what are the Spanish/Latino equivalents for them?

At school, they taught us caducado to mean expired, used in the context with driver's permits, insurance, passports etc. I would look for the expiry date on food. I may quicker user either 'spoilt' or 'sour' to describe milk that is no good. Hence my interest in other words besides caducado or vencido.

[Rusty]

The original question was about an expiration date, so the correct answers have already been given, but of course you can say that milk has gone sour, or that it has spoiled.

to go sour = agriarse, cortarse
the milk is going sour = la leche se agria, la leche se corta
the milk has gone sour = la lecha se ha cortado, la leche se ha agriado

to spoil = pudrirse

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

Adding to Rusty's alternatives:

When something has spoiled, there is also "echarse a perder":

La leche se echó a perder. -> The milk has spoiled.
No tomes/bebas esa leche, (ya) está echada a perder. -> Don't drink that milk, it has spoiled.

[ookami]

Another way (but context is required in this case)
-Está pasado/a

-¡No!, ¡no comás eso que está pasado hace tiempo!
(the food is expired)

-Estos fideos están pasados
(they are not expired, but you have cooked them too much so they are pasados)

[pierrre]

Excelente, amigos. Lo tengo en claro ahora. Sea caducado o agriado.
