a sell-by date does not mean the product isn't eatable, but that it is forbidden for grocers or shops to sell it. It MAY still be eatable depending of the conservation mode: deepfrozen products can be perserved for long after the sell-by date, but their qualities (taste, nutriments) will decrease in various ways.

The general rule is that if the sell-by date is long overdue, you should throw away the product, especially if it contains meat. If you are just over the due date, inspect it and if the colour, odour, texture seems bizarre in any way, throw it away again. If all is looking correct, cook it - preferably heating it over 60° C for some minutes to kill any potential germs.
