When's the best before date?

I've been given a few baby ready made formula.

This might be a stupid question? But does this mean it's in date until the end of January 2024?

It says best before end: at the top then 01-2024.

When's the best before date?

Yes its best before the end of January 2024

And as its a Best Before rather than a Use By date you could use it after that too but the quality may have deteriorated a bit.

Yes you read it as in date until the end of January...the guidance says it can be used for a short while after that date safely too, as best before is just a guide telling you that the product is at its 'best' during that time.

Use by is a stricter date usually applied to meat etc.

Thank you so much both of you.
