Question

Which of the following can be used instead of Expiry-date on packages?

(a) Best-before date

(b) Use-by date

(c) Marketable-by date

(d) Marketable-before date

I have been asked this question in class test.

Question is taken from Packaging Laws & Regulations topic in section Food Packaging Materials, Packaging Standards and Regulation Laws of Food Packaging Technology

Answer 1

Correct choice is (b) Use-by date

The best I can explain: Expiry date is also known as Use-by date. This signifies the last day after which the product should not be consumed owing to deteriorating safety of the product.
