How to Navigate ‘Sell by’, ‘Use by’, & ‘Best Before’ Dates to Cut Down on Food Waste
Why ‘Sell By’, ‘Use By’, & ‘Best Before’ Dates Matter
When playing the “is it still good?” or “is it still OK to eat?” game of Russian roulette with our food and its shelf life (refrigerator or pantry), it’s fairly easy to jump to own conclusions about what ‘sell by’, ‘use by’, ‘best before’, and ‘best if used by’ dates mean.
For example, one may fear that they will get food poisoning and drop dead if eating something after the ‘use by’ date, but not feel the same fears about the exact same product if it had the same date on it, but was instead stamped with ‘sell by’.
But what does each guideline really mean? And is it really safe to eat the food after the use or sell by dates versus throwing it away?
