The sell-by date on food products is a guideline for stores to know how long to display the product for sale. It is not a safety date. The safety of consuming pimento cheese after the sell-by date depends on factors such as how it has been stored (refrigerated at the correct temperature), if there are any signs of spoilage (such as off odor, mold, or unusual texture), and if the packaging is intact. If the pimento cheese appears and smells normal, it is likely safe to eat even after the sell-by date, but always use your best judgment and when in doubt, throw it out.

What is the difference between sell by and use buy?

Sell-by is the date the store is supposed to be responsible for getting rid of it by. Use-by is the date guranteed safe to eat by, but they are supposed to be moddest and last beyond the expiration date (the use-by date).


How do sell by dates keep some food safe?

A sell-by date does not really keep food safe. It protects the processor and store from some liability and loss. For a potentially hazardous food, it would hopefully be sold well before before spoilage takes hold or any pathogens reach a toxic level - but then I'd expect an expiration date, not a sell-by. It is not the sell-by date alone that keeps food safe. It has to be handled and stored properly, too, including after the sale. Sell-by dates are usually guides for quality, not safety.

Can I use Bisquick after the better if used by date?

It all depends whether it is a sell by date, use by date, or a best before date. If it is a sell by, then that would be an earlier date than an 'eat by' date so it would probably be OK. If it is a best before, then it probably won't taste as good but will still be safe; if it is after a use by date then it may not be safe so you shouldn't eat it.

Is it safe to eat cottage cheese you have had for 6months?

It is generally not safe to eat cottage cheese that has been stored for six months, as it is typically only good for about one to two weeks after the sell-by date if properly refrigerated. Even if it looks and smells fine, harmful bacteria could have developed. Always check for signs of spoilage, such as an off smell, unusual texture, or mold. When in doubt, it's best to discard it to avoid foodborne illness.


What does the sell by date mean?

The "Sell By" date is the date after which the store is not supposed to sell the product.


What does sell by mean?

"Sell by" is a date printed on food packaging that indicates the last day a retailer should sell the product to ensure optimal quality and freshness. It is not a safety date, meaning the product may still be safe to consume after this date, although its quality may decline. Consumers are encouraged to use their judgment and check for signs of spoilage when determining whether to eat a product past its sell-by date.
