    You need to know that when it smells or has mold on it you need to throw it out no mater what. the sell by is when the store needs to sell the product but it is still good to eat. The best by is when it still taste good and smells good but make sure to look at the food so you do not get sick. Used by is when you need to make a careful judgement when you smell it if the food smells bad get rid of it and if mold is on the food get in in the trash
