For Best Before we have a term and definition in Food Industry.

Best Before (Food Industry)

A 'Best Before' date is applied to food in which the microbes are either dormant or dead, hence spoilage is normally due to slow chemical changes occurring within the food. Only low risk food, as far as food poisoning is concerned, should have a 'Best Before' date and all other food should have a 'Use By' date. Often 'Best Before' dated food has to be stored under appropriate conditions to last until its 'Best Before' date. e.g. most frozen food needs to be stored at -18ºC and dried food should be stored in a cool dry place.
See high risk food, low risk food and 'Use By'.
