<h2 id="use-by-date">Use-by date</h2>
<p>Use-by dates suggest the <a href="https://www.fsis.usda.gov/food-safety/safe-food-handling-and-preparation/food-safety-basics/food-product-dating#:~:text=A%20%E2%80%9CUse%2DBy%22%20date,a%20purchase%20or%20safety%20date.">peak quality</a> of a product, and are not safety dates. According to the <a href="https://www.usda.gov/sites/default/files/documents/USDA-Food-Date-Labeling-Infographic.pdf">USDA</a>, “With the exception of infant formula, if the date passes during home storage, a product should still be safe and wholesome if handled properly until spoilage is evident. Spoiled foods will develop an off-odor, flavor, or texture due to naturally occurring spoilage bacteria. If a food has developed such spoilage characteristics, it should not be eaten.”</p>
<h2 id="best-if-used-by-date">Best if used by date</h2>
<p>This label is strictly a quality date, suggesting when the product will have its best taste and texture.</p>
<h2 id="sell-by-date">Sell-by date</h2>
<p>This label indicates to stores how long a product should remain on shelves, and products are often safe to consume well after their sell-by date passes. In fact, according to the <a href="https://www.iit.edu/ifsh">Institute for Food Safety and Health</a> at the Illinois Institute of Technology, &ldquo;one-third of a product&rsquo;s shelf-life remains after the sell-by date for the consumer to use at home.&rdquo;</p>

<h2 id="freeze-by-date">Freeze-by date</h2>
<p>Think of this label as the &ldquo;use-by&rdquo; date but for freezing. Freezing most food products extends their life, and this date will tell you when to freeze an item at its highest quality.</p>
<h2 id="expires-ondo-not-use-date">Expires on/do-not use date</h2>
<p>This label indicates that a product be ineffective after the date listed. Along with baby formula, baking ingredients like cake mixes, baking powder, and yeast may have this label.</p>
