Best before dates......

[osprey]

I bought a choclate bar this morning that had been reduced from 49p to 29p. When I got home I noticed that the Best Before date on it was 17.10.2006. Does this mean that it shouldn't have been sold at all? Am I entitled to get my money back? Could I buy all the remaining stock at an even greater reduced price? What other options have I got?

it can be sold at a reduced rate because its a best before date rather than a use or consume by. Cosmetically it may not look so good as chocolate tends to go white as the milk solids come to the surface but it wont have gone off or bit unfit for consumption
Didnt you wonder why it had been reduced?

The best before date is a guide line the quality of the food may be effected but there is no health risk, I don't think there is any legal responsibility on the vendor to tell you that food is past it's best before date (this is not the case with used by).

To be honest it's fine to eat so I'd just get on with it.
