Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The dates solely indicate freshness, and are used by manufacturers to convey when the product is at its peak. That means the food does not expire in the sense of becoming inedible. For un-refrigerated foods, there may be no difference in taste or quality, and expired foods won’t necessarily make people sick.
Detailed explanation-2: -It’s not a safety date, but it can tell you if the item has been sitting on the shelf longer than other items. Best if used by (or before). This date is recommended for best flavor or quality. There may be a decline in the quality of the food after the use by date.
