I am curious about best by or use by.
I know I have used stuff like a month over the best by date and I never got sick. For use by I try to stick close to the exact date maybe a few days over.
Is there any exact or close to exact date that the best by date should never be used over.
Or maybe I am not asking the question not quite correct is the date labels just one in the same and can be used interchangeable.... and nobody really knows when the exact day/time a food should never be used over/ it should be thrown out.
I would imagine the date labels are just guilds but how good are they on average. With factors like different temperature refrigerators , altitudes , cleanliness of surrounding surfaces , transport , location , how grown ,...etc...
I would imagine the labels could fluctuate a lot depending where you are in the world.
Question 2
I am wondering who puts the labels on the package and when in the food process. ( that would also be a major factor )
Is it retail store , distributor ,...who
