It indicates the recommended period during which the product is expected to retain its optimal quality, flavor, and nutritional value if stored properly. If the best-before date has passed, the product might still be safe to consume, but there could be changes in taste, texture, or appearance. It is not a safety date but rather a guideline the manufacturer provides.
