What does the best before date mean?

Bread and pastry packages must indicate the date until which the quality of the product remains first-class when stored in accordance with the recommendations. In the case of fresh breads, the best-before date marking can be found on the closing ribbon of the bread package.

The product can be used even after the best before date. You can use your senses to assess the edibility of food: look, feel, smell and taste whether the bread or other food is still edible.
