As I’ve been told (don’t know if it’s true), it’s not an expiration date, it’s a best before date.
What you need to keep an eye out for is “Siste forbruksdag” – Do not eat after this date.
I’m not sure what you’re asking here?
Are you asking if preventing food-waste by selling stuff cheaper when it’s close to/past their best-before date is legal? If so, then yes.
It’s not just legal – it’s A Good Thing.
Why would it be illegal?? It’s great!
I don’t know maybe you misunderstood my english, but what I meant is what does the OFTEN mean, for me it sounds like you can get food poisoning SOMETIMES.
It is supposed to reduce food waste, but shops just do it for clout. So rather than picking stuff with a couple days left (so people will actually buy it), they only put stuff there on the last day, and “forget” to remove it the next day.
It is legal, but also a major indication that you should maybe not use that shops date-discounts. (and look more closely if you are worried about the taste)
Why wouldnt it be? It just say that its most likely good for a while after the exploration day that is super strict/too short for great Norwegian products…eu rules
Some things have a “Last day of use” meaning that there is no guarantee you wont die from eating it after the expiry date.
Most things however have a “Best before” date. Meaning you should perhaps expect it to not be quite as good as new, and you should smell and take a visual check before you eat/drink.
I am unsure however if it is legal to actually sell it after “Best before”, perhaps in special stores like “Holdbart” or “Havaristen”?
It’s not legal to sell after the expiration date. But if you keen it in your fridge for after the expiration date, this text will inform you that it’s still edible…. There’s no planet B, ya dig?
