Detailed explanation-1: -The use-by date must be given in the format ‘use by: day / month’-for example, ‘Use by: 23 January’. You may add the year if you wish. The date must be given in the order day, month, year, and be uncoded.
Detailed explanation-2: -This guidance is for England and Wales Most prepacked foods must be marked with either a use-by date or a minimum durability date (of which there are two types: ‘best before’ and ‘best before end’).
Detailed explanation-3: -A best before date indicates the quality of a food product. It lets you know you can eat the food after this date, it just may not taste, look or feel as good. The best before date meaning has nothing to do with whether the food is safe to eat.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
