Different Between Expire Date And Best Before by Nobody: 9:25am On May 04, 2015 |
Many people don’t know that expiry date and best before date are not the same. In fact, many people use them interchangeably thinking that they mean the same thing. Well, let me use this medium to inform you that expiry date and best before date are two different terminologies meaning different things and serving different purposes. In this article, I will explain what each date marking found on food packages means and also introduce to you, the concepts of “use by” date and “durable life date”. I will however lay more emphasis on the expiry date and best before dates because they are the most commonly used on food packages. Definition of Terms (Date Markings on Food Packs) Expiry Date: It is added to a food package to tell consumers the last day a product is safe to consume. You should never consume food after the expiry date. Best Before Date: This is the date the manufacturer deems the product reaches peak freshness. The date does not indicate spoilage, nor does it necessarily tells you that the food is no longer safe for consumption |

Your right, it is not good to consume a product after the expiry date, but best before does not mean you can't consume it after d date but that you will get optimal satisfaction if taken 'before' the best before date |
