The answer: "Best before" dates refer to the quality and shelf life of an unopened food product, not safety. They tell you how long a product will retain its optimum flavour, texture and nutritional value when stored under normal conditions. |

Dat2jo: There is a difference between "best before" and "use by". It is self explanatory. best before can be consumed after the date use by expires by that date and should not be consumed. |

This is your answer here, Pasta can still safely be eaten past the best before date, as long as the box stays dry,Dry pasta is a shelf-stable pantry staple. It won’t go bad in the way that a perishable item will, a “best by” or “best if used by” date printed on the carton FYI, is not an expiration date. It’s just the manufacturer’s best guess at how long the product will remain at peak freshness, so don’t toss an unopened box of Macaroni just because it’s past the best-by date.Unopened dry pasta is good in the pantry for two years from the time of purchase adebenson155: 1 Like 1 Share |

Dat2jo: I know sm best before dates for certain products have like a 3 to 6months grace period during which they are still ok for consumption bt I’m not sure on these or if that’s a general standard. |

Expiration dates tell consumers the last day a product is safe to consume. Best Before date on the other hand, tells you that the product is no longer in its perfect shape from that date. It does not necessarily mean that the product is no longer safe to eat. Best Before date is basically a quality indicator. |

Dat2jo:Best before is different from expiry date.. Even after six months you can still consume it. The quality can only reduce but never a poison. |

SLOVFO:here you have your answer. Best before date is not expiry date. It simply means there is no guarantee of the expected standard. Most packed foods such as provisions inclusive spaghetti are still good for consumption 3 to 6 months after BBD. As for Drugs, please dispose it fast. 1 Like |

Dat2jo: The ‘best before’ date is often mistaken by consumers to be the same as the ‘expiry date’. That’s why most of the time, foods that may have passed its ‘best before’ date go straight in the trash. Although this would have still been completely edible. The ‘best before’ date guarantees certain properties of the product to be effective up to this point. Once the date has passed, it may just lose its freshness, taste, aroma or nutrients. But it does not necessarily mean that the food is no longer safe to eat. In order to decide whether the food is still edible, one should rely on his/her senses (sight, smell and taste). The product should not be consumed if you find that the taste has been compromised, odour and appearance is odd or it’s exhibiting strange consistency. Note: this only applies to unopened shelf-stable product. Once a sealed product is exposed to air it is prone to contamination. Thus, the ‘best before’ date no longer applies to it. Expiration dates tell consumers the last day a product is safe to consume. Researched from Google 1 Like |

There's a huge difference between a best before date and an expiration date. Best before date =means you can still have it after the date but don't expect it to be at her best. Expiration date =means it could cause you some harm if you're unfortunate, so don't have it after the date . |
