I am just spring cleaning my kitchen cupboards and clearing out stuff that has gone by its 'Best before date'. This is proving to be a frustrating exercise. Why oh why can't manufacturers put the best before in the same place especially on jars and bottles. And why are they so difficult to understand? Example on a packet of Uncle Ben's Spicy Mexican Rice
Best Before: 290418 <16:28> UK L3 1R.
What does that mean? I have emailed them to find out but have ditched the packet just to be sure. I will come back if and when I get an explanation.
I think in future I will email every manufacturer of a product I buy where the best before is difficult to locate or understand.
