REFLECTION QUESTION
Food Learn the Truth About Expiration Dates

How does knowing the difference between use by, sell by, and best by dates empower you to make better decisions?

Crystal Anthony 4/24/2019 12:02 PM

If I buy the oldest sell by date then I can use it until the use by date and keep an eye on it after the best by date and that will ensure that this older shelved product does not get thrown away.
