All food items must carry a date of durability.
The 'best before' date is the date up to and including when (providing the food has been stored correctly) the manufacturer expects the food to remain at peak quality. Food may still be edible after this date, but its appearance and quality could have deteriorated.
The 'use by' date is an instruction that the food should be used by the end of this date. Foods that have a 'use by' date must be removed from sale once that date has passed.
