The sell date on a product is similar to a "best by" or "use by" date, and implies that the perishable food item should be sold or the store must pull them from the shelves and properly dispose of them.
Frequently stores will place items on sale at a very low price the day before the sell date to encourage customers to buy them, and avoid the waste of product and costs.
