how to know the deadlines for eggs, meat, milk

1. The words "To be consumed until ...":

The products that carry this mention are the most fragile. It is advisable to respect the date indicated with precaution even if it means throwing away:

2. The words "Best before ..."

The best-of-use expiry dates relate to products that bear the mentions "Best before ..." or"Best before end of...".

We mainly find smoked, dried, freeze-dried, dehydrated, cured products such as:

>> Smoked fish, smoked meats.

>> Fish treated in salting such as anchovies.

>> Soups and dehydrated purees, powdered milk.

>> Coffee, chocolate powder, spices.

>> Preserves (especially vegetables).

The consumption of these products is more flexible. It is a question of duration of consumption and not of expiry date.

It is therefore less imperative to respect the exact date which is written on the product, if it has not yet been opened of course.

If it is advisable to eat the food before the date that appears on the packaging, it is more for a question taste and health.
