👨‍⚕ My food is "expired," am I going to make it, doctor?

Well? Well?

Let's talk about it!

All of our products have a Best By date, which means they're at their peak flavor and texture quality before that date.

(Not to be confused with the Use By – or expiration – date that's on perishable products such as meat🍗 and milk🥛)

Don't worry, if the Best By date is coming up soon or has already passed, the product is still perfectly safe to eat 👌

For more info about the difference between Best By dates and expiration dates, 👉 read this article

In an effort to cut down on food waste, we sell products up to 3 months past their Best By date.

If you aren't totally convinced (it's okay, we won't hold it against you😉), you can always choose not to order products past their Best Before date, which is listed on every product page.
