BEST BEFORE DATES – The Canadian Food Inspection Agency wants to help Canadians understand the difference between best-before dates and expiry dates.
Best-before dates are about how fresh and good the food is when unopened—not about safety. Think of it as the time when the food will taste its best. After that date, the food might still be okay to eat, but it may not look or taste as good. Knowing the difference can help you reduce food waste and save money.So, next time you find something in your pantry that’s past its best-before date, check it before throwing it out!To learn more click on the link below!
