'Best before' or 'use by'?

A carton of yogurt past its best-before date? Give it a check — it might still be perfectly fine to use.
A packaged chicken breast past its use-by date? Throw it out! No discussion.

👉 Best Before (THT) → The quality may deteriorate, but it’s not immediately dangerous.

👉 Use By (TGT) → Must not be consumed after this date under any circumstances.

For hospitality entrepreneurs, this is more than just a fun fact. A poorly stored or overdue product can make guests sick and damage your reputation. So always check the dates on your labels — and don’t take any risks! ✅
