  • A “best before date” on a product is the date at which a food product starts to decrease in freshness and quality. A best before date in most cases doesn’t refer to the safety of the product and the item can be safely consumed after its best before date has passed.

    An “expiry date” is only required on certain items and indicates the date at which it is no longer safe to consume the product. Products must be discarded by the store once the expiration date has passed to avoid people getting sick.
