BEST BEFORE OR EXPIRED?
FOOD BANKS’ QUESTIONS ANSWERED

There continues to be confusion about best before dates and expiry dates on food and what they really mean to food banks. Many people incorrectly say food has “expired” if it reaches its best before date, so they throw it out. Others complain that best before dates on food actually increase food waste.
Here are answers to some commonly asked questions about date labels:
WHAT DO THE DATE LABELS MEAN?
* Best before date labels are about overall quality. The best before date is a company’s promise that, when stored properly, an unopened product will keep its wholesomeness, flavour, nutritional value and other aspects of quality until the stated date.
* Expiry date labels are about nutritional quality of a small set of foods. Expiry date is a company’s promise that, when stored properly, an unopened product will contain the nutritional content shown on the label at least until the specified date.
* Neither is about food safety........
