Best Before
Best before dates are not an indication of safety, but rather a general guideline for when the quality of food or drink may start to deteriorate. It is perfectly safe to consume food that has passed its best before date, and it often remains just as tasty. In fact, the government has considered eliminating best before dates to reduce food waste, as they can give a false impression that the food is no longer suitable for consumption.
This misunderstanding leads to a significant amount of food being thrown away unnecessarily, contributing to the seven million tonnes of food and drink wasted in the UK each year. By being mindful of the best before date and understanding how food changes over time, we can reduce our food waste and save money.Many experts argue that food expiration dates have led to a culture where consumers rely on manufacturers’ dates instead of their own knowledge and common sense.
While best before dates can provide a general idea of a food’s age, they are not exact. Consumers can use their own judgment and knowledge to decide what they want to eat. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference in terms of flavor and texture. If unsure about consuming a product past its best before date, trying it is safe and allows individuals to determine if the taste is satisfactory.
It’s important to remember that foods can taste different in recipes, as other ingredients can enhance flavors. By utilizing food in the cupboard, individuals can reduce food waste and contribute to solving the problem. Based on customer feedback, we have found that quality issues are rare when purchasing products past their best before date.
The majority of the items available for purchase are offered at a discounted price due to either reaching their expiration date or being in close proximity to it. It is important to understand that these products cannot be returned or refunded. To ensure transparency, we have made it clear in the product description when the best before date is approaching. This information will be displayed under the product description approximately 30-60 days before the actual best before date, and the price will be adjusted accordingly.
The best before date, also referred to as the best before end (BBE), primarily serves as an indicator of the product’s quality rather than its safety. While the food will still be safe to consume after this date, it is worth noting that its taste and texture may not be at their optimal levels. Therefore, it is essential to consider this aspect before making a purchase decision.
It is crucial to emphasize that when ordering these discounted products, customers assume their own risk. We want to ensure that our customers are fully aware of the implications and understand that these items come with a certain level of uncertainty. However, we strive to provide accurate information regarding the best before dates and offer these products at a reduced price to provide an opportunity for those who are comfortable with the associated risks.
