So after decades of telling us we must stick to best before dates or we will catch some nasty bug... Turns out your nan was right all along.

Just use your nose and your common sense.

Only things I won't do that for is pork and chicken. No way in hell risking it. Everything else is fair game.

Now this is where it falls apart in todays age , the bit about using common sense, you know dam well people have to be told when , how & where & have it written down in easy reading style

Sell by and best before are entirely two different things

Sell by means it has to be removed from sale as the quality can no longer be guaranteed

Best before is a guide but it can be used after however the quality may not be as good

Expiry date is similar and usually attached to a product licence

You do realise that all that is just to increase margins for supermarkets. To get them out of accusations about food waste so instead of giving food out for free or reduced price it will be sold at full price.

And then all PR stuff to convince customers that it's all for us.

And if you cook mussels and one doesn't open, well actually no you really shouldn't eat it

This is good news - I’ve only ever used them as a guide! It’s a standing joke in our house !

My mother gave me a jar of Thai red curry paste, best before 2012.

Tasted fine to me.

Another life skill that’s been lost the ability to tell if something is safe to eat.

With the cost of living crisis while I agree this is self serving of the supermarkets I hope it will also mean people learn to assess for themselves

Also perhaps they will learn to use up items past their best in soups etc

It's a best before not a use by!

Just means it may not be as nice after that date.
