FAQs & Answers
- What should I do if the expiry date has passed? If the expiry date has passed, it is best to dispose of the product safely, especially for medications and perishable items.
- Are expiry dates the same as 'best before' dates? No, 'expiry dates' indicate the last date for safe usage, while 'best before' dates refer to product quality, not safety.
- Can I consume products past their expiry date? It depends on the product. Some may be safe for a short time, but others, especially medications, should not be consumed after the expiry date.
