best before/use by

hey! i just just heard this cool thing on muttons on the move on 987 and they were discussing about food labels. one of them (either justin or vernon) was saying that he thinks that there is a difference between “best before” and “expiry date” or “use by”. And that is EXACTLY WHAT I THINK SO TOO!

See there must be some reason why there is this distinction, and why every single food label is not using the same phrase. I think that if something says best before, it means that you can still eat it after that date, but it just wont taste as good. However if it says use by, it means the food will turn bad after that date.

Food for thought. =)
