Is it legal for shops to sell products that have passed their ‘Use By’ date?
‘Use by’ dates are different to ‘Best before’ dates and it is against the law to sell any food that has passed its ‘Use by’ date. Using it after this date could put your health at risk. ‘Use by’ dates are used on short life perishable foods. If a store is selling items after this date please contact your local trading standards department.
