Consumers determine the freshness of food by reading dates on retail packages and by using their senses. Just by looking, smelling, and touching, you can decide how fresh it is. Green beans that don't 'snap' aren't so fresh. Sweet corn that is dented is not fresh. Onions that smell of ammonia or attract flies are not fresh. Discolored meat is not fresh. 'Freshness' may vary according to one's own preferences.
Food processors calculate best by dates by utilizing shelf life studies. The studies show at what point they can expect the quality aspects of the food, under normal handling conditions, to go below what is acceptable. They code the product accordingly. Since a business does not want their consumers to have an experience with bad product, that date is usually on the conservative side.
