Sell By? Use By?
H-E-B uses sell-by dates, use-by dates and expiration dates as a guideline for shoppers to determine the freshness of perishable products.

examining contents or productsspacer But what does all that mean? How can you be sure that a product is fresh, safe and ready to eat? To help you understand the difference among these dates, here's a quick explanation of their meaning.


Sell-by Date - indicates how long we display a product on the shelf. To ensure you get the freshest product available, we recommend that you buy perishable items on or before the sell-by date.

Use-by Date - indicates the last date recommended for use of the product while it is still at peak quality. The product's quality and freshness is guaranteed only up to that date.

Expiration Date - indicates the last date that the product can be sold. Remember, even if a product date expires during home storage, a product should be safe and of good quality as long as the safe handling and storage instructions printed on the label are followed.
