    These are two different things, and it’s usually worded as such:

    Expiration Date: we cannot guarantee that eating food after this date will not cause sickness. Eat at your won risk, and we are not responsible if you get sick.

    Best By Date: basically means nothing. We think it tastes better before this date but there are no actual health implications after this date.

    Fuck “Best By” dates. I’ll decide if it tastes good or not, and if I don’t like it, I’ll throw it out. As long as there are no actual health implications. You usually only find expiration dates on dairy meat, and sometimes bread.
