What is the Expiration Date?<\/strong><\/h3>

The expiration date is the last date the manufacturer guarantees the safety and quality of the product. After this date, the food may no longer be safe to eat due to the risk of bacterial contamination or deterioration in quality, such as changes in taste, smell, and texture.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

  • Use By:<\/strong> This indicates the last date for food safety. Products like milk, raw meat, and fresh foods should be consumed before this date to avoid health risks. Do not eat after the “Use By” date, even if the food looks, smells, or tastes fine.<\/p><\/li>

  • Best Before:<\/strong> Refers to the food\u2019s quality. After this date, the food may still be safe to eat but may experience changes in taste, smell, or texture. Dry foods like biscuits, pasta, and cereals often use this label.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
