Understanding “Best By” Labels on Canned Foods Canned foods offer convenience
and a long shelf life, but many consumers misunderstand the meaning of “best by” or “best before” dates.
These dates mark the period for optimal quality, not safety. Properly stored canned foods can remain safe well beyond these dates.
The Significance of “Best By” Labels The “best by” date ensures the product is at its peak flavor, texture, and nutritional value.
It does not indicate when food becomes unsafe to eat. Canned foods can last safely past this date if stored correctly
and if the can remains undamaged. Quality vs. Safety “Best by” dates refer to quality, not safety.
