Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's the difference between "Best Before" (BBE) Vs. "Use by" dates?

A: At Kendal Mint Co, we really hate waste. That's why when a product is close to or beyond its best before date, we offer our customers unbeatable prices.

"Best Before" (BBE) dates refer to the quality of a product, rather than food safety alone.


"Use By" dates refer to the safety of a product, after which it's no longer safe to consume.

Please note:

By purchasing any short-dated or clearance item, you acknowledge that it is supplied at a discounted price due to its remaining shelf life and you agree that you purchase and use it entirely at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Kendal Mint Co accepts no liability for any loss, damage, or adverse outcomes arising from consumption or use, including where a product is past its BBE date or has been stored contrary to instructions. If you are unsure, do not consume.
