What is another word for sell-by date?
Pronunciation: [sˈɛlba͡ɪ dˈe͡ɪt] (IPA) 
The sell-by date is a common term used in the food industry to indicate the last date by which a product should be sold. However, there are other terms used to convey the same message, such as "expiration date," "use-by date," "best before date," and "best if used by." These synonyms are used interchangeably, depending on the country and the manufacturer's preference. Although they all signify a warning that the product is no longer guaranteed to be fresh or safe to consume after the indicated date, it is still advisable to use discretion and common sense in determining whether to eat or dispose of a food item beyond the sell-by date.
