Understand expiration dates.

“Best-By” and expiration dates can be confusing. But the main idea is that these dates generally apply to food quality, not safety. Here’s a quick rundown: the “Sell-By” date tells the store how long they should display the item for sale.

The “Best, If Used By” date applies to optimum quality or flavor. And the “Use-By” date indicates when the product is no longer at peak quality. To know if food is off, inspect for mold or a weird scent.
