식품의 맛과 품질을 최상으로 유지할 수 있는 기간
그러나 'Best if Used By/Before'는 식품의 판매 기간이나 안전 사용 기간을 의미하지 않음.
● Use-By
식품의 권장 사용기간을 의미함.
“Best before” is used on foods with a longer shelf-life, like pasta, tinned foods, breakfast cereal.
Bacteria can't usually grow on these foods so food poisoning is not a concern.
The golden rule to remember is that use-by date is a DEADLINE but best before is a GUIDELINE, for when to eat your food.
