Use by date and Best before date. Know the difference!

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between a best before date and a use by date on a food label? 🤔📅

Follow these tips to help you know the difference:

Use by date:
✅ the food must be eaten or thrown away by this date
✅ food is considered unsafe after this date.

Best before date:
✅ the food is safe to eat after this date if it is not damaged, deteriorated or perished
✅ food may lose some of its quality after this date.
