Taking an item after it has been forgotten for a long time

Question

Shalom.

In the synagogue refrigerator, half a container of tahini was found that has been there for a long time and no one is claiming it, and its expiration date has already passed. Is it permitted to take it?

Answer

Shalom u'vracha,

Yes, it is permitted.
