This statistic shows the findings of a survey done on the knowledge on expiry dates in the Netherlands in 2016. When the respondents were asked whether they can explain the difference between best before and used by dates, roughly 50 percent indicated that they are reasonably able to explain the difference.
Can you explain the difference between best before and use by dates?*
* This question was phrased by the source as follows: "Op verpakkingen staat vaak een THT en/of TGT datum. Kunt u hieronder aangeven wat het verschil is hiertussen?" (English: "Some packages are having a best before and/or used by dates. Can you indicate their differences below"?)
