Detailed explanation-1: -Food labels are date marked with either a ‘best before’ or ‘use-by’ date to tell you the safe shelf life of that food (how long the food can be kept before it begins to deteriorate). All food with a shelf life of less than 2 years must be date marked.

Detailed explanation-2: -Check the ‘use-by’ or ‘best-before’ date when you buy food. ‘Best-before’ dates give you an idea of how long foods will last before they lose quality. Most products will last beyond their ‘best-before’ date if they are stored properly. Foods marked with a ‘use-by’ date must be consumed before or on that date.

Detailed explanation-3: -Food labels have date marks to inform us about their shelf life. The marks tell how long food can be kept before it begins to deteriorate. All food with a shelf life of less than 2 years must be date-marked. A ‘use by’ date means the food must be eaten or thrown away by the date.

Detailed explanation-4: -"Best by” Dates Labels with phrases like “Best if Used by, ‘’ “Enjoy by” and “Fresh through” indicates when a product will be have the best flavor or quality. It is not an expiration date. The product can still be consumed after this date, but it may no longer meet the company’s standard for freshness.
