The difference between best before and use-by dates is really important. Some foods deteriorate over time in a way that may present a food safety risk. On most packaged food, depending on the product, you will see either:

a use-by date - relating to food safety

a best before date - relating to food quality

A use-by date on food is about safety. This is the most important date to remember. Never eat food after the use-by date, even if it looks and smells ok, as it could make you very ill. You can cook and eat food until midnight on the use-by date shown on a product, but not after. You will see use-by dates on food that goes off quickly, such as meat products or ready-to-eat salads. For the use-by date to be a valid guide, you must carefully follow the food's storage instructions. For example, if the instructions on the packaging tell you to refrigerate after opening, you should keep the food in a fridge at 5°C or below. Find out more about chilling your food correctly. You can cook food until midnight of the use-by date listed on the product, and then cool and keep it in the fridge. You must eat the food within 48 hours or freeze it to eat later. If you freeze the food, make sure that you label what it is and the date it was frozen, so you don’t end up with a UFO (unidentifiable frozen object).

After the use-by date, don't eat, cook or freeze your food.

The best before date, sometimes shown as BBE (best before end), is about quality and not safety. After the best before date listed on a product, the food will be safe to eat but may not be at its best. Best before dates appear on a wide range of foods including:

frozen foods (such as peas, chips and ice cream)

dried foods (such as pasta and rice)

tinned foods (such as baked beans and canned tomatoes)

cheese

The best before date will only be accurate if the food is stored according to the instructions on the packaging. Tips There is more guidance on WRAP's website for best before and use-by dates.

The sniff test

For foods with a best before date (which concerns food quality), you can use sensory cues to find out if the food is okay to eat. For example, you could look for visible mould on bread, taste to see if biscuits/crisps are stale, or sniff/smell some dairy products with a best before date to see if they have soured. For food with a use-by date, the ‘sniff test’ is not an appropriate method for testing if food is safe to eat. Food can look and smell fine even after the use by date has passed, but the product will not be safe to eat. We can’t see or smell the bugs that can cause food poisoning. Manufacturers are responsible for deciding whether to apply a use-by date or a best before date on their products. This will depend on factors such as how the food is made and how risky it is. They will make sure the right label is used on the product. milk with a use-by date should never be used past the date listed, even if it smells fine milk with a best before date label can be sniffed to see if it has gone bad and always check the label instructions before using If you have a problem with your sense of smell and cannot use it to detect if food with a best before date has gone off or stale, then ask someone else to check it for you. If that is not an option, then we advise that you stick to the best before date on the packet as this has been determined by the manufacturer to be the date which the food is at its best.

If you are supplying people with packaged food from a food bank, you still need to check and follow the use-by dates. Giving out food after its use-by date puts people at risk, and could lead to enforcement action being taken against the food bank.

Avoiding food waste

We know many people are concerned about food waste and we welcome safe methods of reducing waste.

To reduce the amount of food you throw away:

follow storage instructions on the packet

use up, cook or freeze foods that are approaching their use-by date first

keep your fridge below 5°C

plan your meals ahead

Plan your meals ahead

Get into the habit of checking what you already have in the fridge and freezer before you go shopping. Look out for foods that are approaching their use-by date and other fresh foods that can go off over time and try to use them up first. This includes:

fruit and vegetables

meat and fish

cheese, milk or other dairy products

Freeze and defrost your food correctly

Freezing acts as a 'pause' button on food. If you freeze food correctly, it won’t deteriorate or spoil as bacteria cannot grow on frozen food. However, the longer the food is frozen, the more likely that the texture will be affected. This will not affect safety. However, once defrosted, the pause button is off. Only defrost food as you need it and cook it within 24 hours. Find out more about freezing and defrosting food. Once food has been defrosted, cook it within 24 hours until steaming hot before serving. Always check packet instructions to ensure that foods are suitable for freezing, especially for ready-to-eat foods.
