Question

describing food labels
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 on food products is defined as the last date recommended for the use of the product to ensure its best quality and safety for consumption. The first option refers to a "best by" or "quality" date, the third option is about a "sell by" date (for store display duration), and the fourth option's wording is less accurate about the "use by" date's purpose. The second option correctly describes the "use by" date as the last date recommended for using the product.

Answer:

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