Once you have understood this difference between the dates, you should know that you can consume products with a best before date after this date without taking any risk, as confirmed by the AFSCA.
There are many other foods you'll find in supermarkets that don't have to have an expiration date, including alcohol, but also fresh fruits and vegetables.
What foods can you eat after the expiration date?
Applesauce
If you have these foods in your cupboard and the expiration date has passed, don't worry, you can still eat them if you take the necessary precautions!
cakes
1. Cake Mix
If you have cake mix at home, you can still safely eat it 4 to 5 months after the expiration date if it has been stored in a cool, dry place.
2. Milk
You may not know this, but milk can still be consumed after its expiration date. If you've stored it in the refrigerator and haven't opened it yet, it can last longer than the date indicated. Just check that it's still fresh before consuming it.
3. Applesauce
If you have applesauce in a cool, dark place that you haven't opened yet, don't worry: you can eat it up to 18 months after the expiration date!
4. Honey Although
honey is sold with an expiration date, it is a food with antiseptic properties and therefore never expires. Although the color and texture may change over time, it remains safe to eat if you avoid storing it in a dark cupboard.
