A best before date is about quality, not safety. We do not sell products which have a “use by” date which by law cannot be sold past the date by a retailer. 

We only sell best before dated goods, which can legally in the UK be sold past its date and is only a general rule as to the quality of the item. Even when the date has passed, it does not mean that the food will be harmful, but it might begin to lose flavour and texture.

The majority of our products, especially products like candy and tinned groceries, usually have a long best before date on them from 5 months plus. 

Products like crisps, cakes, cereals may have a shorter best before date on them. We carry out regular date checks on our stock. 

Smaller single candy items, which come to us in tubs, such as Laffy Taffy, Lollipops, Vidal, Tootsie Rolls, Charleston Chew Minis and Warhead singles etc are generally too small to display best before dates or contain a best before date in a short code on the item. If you are ordering these types of items and want to ensure they are still before it’s best before date expires, please contact us before ordering the item so we can confirm a date to you. 

The product “Milky Bar Choos” display their manufacturing date on the packet, and have a shelf life of 9 months from the date displayed of manufacture. This is also noted on the product description on these items and we do not accept returns of this product. 

Please bear in mind that we do not manufacture these items and that items sold past their best before date (such as those in our sale section) are perfectly safe to consume.
