Question

you want to cook a healthy meal for your family. while shopping for food, you remember that it is important to read the food labels and dates to help you make an informed choice. which statement best describes the \use by\ date shown on food products? this date indicates when a product will be of best flavor or quality. this date tells the store how long to display the product for sale. this is the last date recommended for use of the product. this is the date that guarantees safety of the food item.

Explanation:

The "use - by" date is the last date by which a product is recommended to be used for best quality and safety. After this date, the product may deteriorate in quality or pose a safety risk. The date indicating best flavor or quality is more like a "best - before" date. The date for store display is different from the "use - by" date. And while the "use - by" date is related to safety, it doesn't guarantee safety indefinitely but is the last recommended use date.

Answer:

This is the last date recommended for use of the product.
