Can I sell food once it is past its 'use by' date or 'best before' date?
It is illegal to sell foods past their 'use by' date.
However, you may sell food past its 'best before' date if the quality is still satisfactory. You may need to test this food in some way before you carry on selling it. You must not alter the dates on food, only the manufacturer can do this.
