The government is in the process of issuing new guidelines and, before long, the supermarkets will stop using 'best before' and 'use by' dates instead. This is because we are throwing away ridiculous amounts of perfectly edible food.
Are you sure it doesn't say best before end of 4 2011?

My gran had a huge walk in larder packed to the rafters. We always used to joke that if there was a nuclear apocalypse that we'd go there as there was plenty of food.
When she died and we had to clear it all out, there was a tin of ham so old it had the price tag on from pre-decimal.
My dad took it home for 'testing purposes'....

It will be best before end april 2011. If it was BBE March it would have said BBE march, not BBE april. They have missed the E off.
I had an OOD bottle of milk in my shopping recently. Emptied it out, washed the bottle, next time I went in I got a refund and a £5 voucher. Fine by me :)
