No, it isn´t really. Sour cream tends to separate when thawed and it is
difficult if at all possible to get the same consistency again. It can still
be used in some recipes, of course. Sour cream kept two weeks past its
sell-by date could be quite all right but then again it might not. I´ve
experienced both.
