Items displayed in this area are often approaching or past their 'Best Before' dates.
'Best Before' dates (not to be confused with 'Use By' dates found on products such as fresh meat and fish) are simply a manufacturers guideline concerned to a products quality.
Often companies like Bluebird and Smiths stamp their products with short dates for commercial reasons rather than any real reflection of actual food quality.
We find most goods are perfectly good to eat for many months after.
For more information and any legalities clarification visit the Food Standards Agency website.
