Many people face a common dilemma: they find a carton of milk or a bag of bread in the refrigerator, but the
date on the package has already passed. Should they throw it away immediately, or is it still safe to eat? To answer
this, we must first understand the difference between “Use By” and “Best Before” dates.
“Use By” dates are usually found on highly perishable foods, such as fresh meat or creamy desserts. These
dates are about safety. Eating food past this date could lead to poisoning because harmful bacteria grow quickly in
these items. In contrast, “Best Before” dates are more about quality than safety. They are common on shelf-stable
products like canned beans, dried pasta, or biscuits. If you eat a biscuit a few days after its “Best Before” date, it
might not be as crunchy, but it probably won’t make you sick.
Besides the suggested dates, we should also consider the type of food. For example, hard cheese can often last
longer than the suggested date if you cut off any small spots of mold. On the other hand, soft cheese or deli meat
should be handled with extreme caution. Furthermore, eggs are often still good for three to five weeks after you
buy them, even if the “Sell By” date has passed.
In conclusion, while dates provide a helpful guideline, they are not always absolute. The best way to decide is
to use your senses. If the food smells “off,” looks “slimy,” or has changed color, it is better to be safe than sorry. As
the saying goes, “When in doubt, throw it out.”
