Food is good well long past the expiration date so yes you can safely eat food that is one day past the expiration date.

An expiration date on food is just a general guideline that means that it's fresh up until the expiration date and doesn't always mean that the food has gone bad or is not safe to eat past the expiration date.

Just because food is expired doesn't mean that you cannot eat it and I keep and eat food well past the expiration date.

If you want to keep meats past the expiration date you should be sure to freeze the meat and it will keep as long as 6 months to a year.

But other foods that do not require refrigeration can last very long past the expiration date although it may not be as fresh as it would be before the expiration date.
