best before date
best before date
The date by which an item should be eaten so that it is optimally tasty or fresh. Does this taste a bit off to you? I wonder if its best before date came and went. Produce that's past its best before date is often still perfectly safe to eat. I'd check the best before date if I were you—that salad's been in the fridge for a while.
