How can you actually be searching for a wispa on ebay :eek:

[Bumble]

It should be legal to sell as it's a 'best before' date not a 'use by'. Andy, there's no such thing as 'sell by' :rolleyes: Remind me not to buy any sweets from you.........

It seems new wispa are going for a premium as well. Blimey!

Not convinced that's true mate.:confused:

Use by usually refers to fresh food like fish or poultry which would normally be kept refrigerated until use by the day stipulated, which is usually within a week or so.

Best before is used for longer term products like drinks, sweets and canned products which have a longer period.

I doubt any retailer would get away with selling any product which has passed it's recommended date, regardless of the wording.

I used the "sell by" date as a generalisation.

But see my post above also.:rolleyes:

Andy, my dad used to be a Trading Standards Enforcement Officer. A customer can object to a past BB date saying the goods are not fit but technically its not an offence (eggs are an exception).

However selling after a use by is an offence with a hefty fine.

Jeesh. there's always someone who knows someone, who knows someone who knows everything.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :D :D

Interesting to hear though Paul. Will bear it in mind. Although for the avoidance of doubt, I would never, ever sell anything "past it's date".

A.:D

[The Dogfather]

Yes, but you can eat the BB ones yourself safe in the knowledge that you 'only' be damaging your waistline.

BTW, I did double check on the FSA website as my dad retired 4 years ago.
