The best before is the manufacturer's recommendation and it gives you an idea of ​​how long the product will keep exactly the same taste and quality as when it was made.
In our product selection, you can find products whose "best before" is approaching or has already passed, and products whose minimum shelf life is not approaching for a long time. It is important to know that for products that can be stored at room temperature, the "best before" is simply a manufacturer's recommendation. The food is perfectly edible and usually tastes just as good long after the "best before" date. Many people confuse “best before” with “use by”. We hope that more consumers will understand the differences between labels in order to reduce food waste. Best before: is the manufacturer's recommendation and indicates how long the product will keep exactly the same taste and quality as when it was made. However, in most cases, the quality of the product is maintained for years after the expiration date. Use by date: As the name suggests, this is the date on which the product is best used by the manufacturer and cannot be sold or eaten after this date. The label is used on perishable foods, such as dairy and meat products. Sumena does not sell "use by" products.
