Did You Know?

Best Before “Date Expired”

Some food items you receive may be past the”Best Before” dates printed on the package. “Best Before” dates do not mean a product is expired. Except for infant formula, dates are not an indicator of the product’s safety.

  • Best if Used By/Before indicates when a product will be of best flavor or quality. It is not a purchase or safety date.
  • Sell-By date tells the store how long to display the product for sale for inventory management. It is not a safety date.
  • Use by date is the last date recommended for the use of the product while at peak quality. It is not a safety date except for when used on infant formula.

For more information on how to read date codes and food product safety, review guidelines on the USDA website.
