Best-before dates indicate quality, not safety. Many products remain safe and tasty well beyond the printed date.

By checking appearance, smell, and taste, you can decide if a food is still good to consume. Unlike the use-by date, which applies to highly perishable foods, the best-before date is a guide to freshness rather than a strict deadline.

Learning to read and interpret these dates helps households reduce unnecessary waste, save money, and make smarter, safer food choices every day.
