However, they do give you information about the freshness and potential shelf-life of the unopened foods you are buying. 　　Best before Date 　　Best before dates must appear on pre-packaged foods that will keep fresh for 90 days?or?less. 　　Retail-packed foods may be labelled with either 　　a best before date and the proper storage instructions if they differ from room temperature （for example, keep refrigerated）, or 　　the date packaged, along with the durable life of the food （for example, the number of days a product will retain its freshness） 　　Expiration Date 　　Expiration dates must be used on the following products: 　　formulated liquid diets （a nutritionally complete diet for persons using oral?or?tube feeding methods） 　　foods represented for use in a very low-energy diet （foods sold only by a pharmacist and only with a written order from a physician） 　　meal replacements （a formulated food that, by itself, can replace one?or?more daily
