"Best Before" labels

"Best Before" labels indicate the period during which a product is expected to remain at its best quality, in terms of flavor, texture, and nutritional value. After this date, the food may still be safe to consume, but its quality might decline. It's important to note that "Best Before" is not the same as "Use By," which indicates safety and freshness. Always check for signs of spoilage, such as unusual smell or appearance, before consuming products past their "Best Before" date. This labeling helps consumers make informed choices about food quality.
