Comment Comment by GoodbyeMrChips > the myth of the "expiration date"We (UK) have use by dates, and best before dates.They mean exactly what they say.i.e. Raw chicken will have a use by date, eat it beyond this and you risk getting the shits. On the other hand all fruit, veg, tins and most dairy simply have best before dates.... meaning use your eyes and nose to see if it is OK. parent GoodbyeMrChips 4 years ago
