Detailed explanation-1: -If possible, it is best to buy a product before this date. “Use-By” dates indicate the last day recommended for use of a perishable product while at peak quality. Try to avoid buying foods that are already past this date, even though most are generally still safe to eat.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to the experts, in most of the cases, the expiration date mentioned on the food products do not refer to safety but refers to its quality. In case someone consumes it, it might not harm them at all but the nutritious value of the food will also be lost due to its poor quality.

It is not a purchase or safety date.
