In the United States, a "sell-by" date identifies the date by which the item should no longer be offered for sale. That should allow the consumer enough time to use the product. It is not an "expiration" or "use-by" date. If a store is still offering food that is beyond the "sell-by", I suggest you contact the local health department with jurisdiction.

A "sell by" date means after this date the store should not be selling the food, at least not at full retail price. There is a window of time after the sell-by date before the food is spoiled.
