The “Best Before Date” can be found on food packaging. 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.
