Please remember that BB dates mean the product is at its peak flavour until that date.
What a "best before" date means:
- The date signifies the point at which the food is no longer at its best quality.
- The date applies to the product in its original, sealed packaging.
- You don't need to throw out food just because it's past its "best before" date, drop it off and we will follow the Health Canada Guidelines as to how long it can be safely used.
