best before

**best before**
The term “best before” refers to a date label commonly found on food and beverage products, indicating the period during which the item is expected to remain at its best quality and flavor. It is not a safety-related expiration date but rather a guideline for optimal freshness. Understanding “best before” dates can help consumers make informed decisions about food consumption and reduce unnecessary waste.
