As far as I am aware supermarkets have a "best before / sell by" date and a "use by..." .... wait a minute!
Supermarket Sell by dates
- Thread starter UFX
- Start date
sell by - shop must sell it before that date or remove from the shelf
best before - quality will reduce after that date
use by - dont eat it after that date
of course these are not exact dates but guides, always check the food for smell / discolouring if your unsure

use by dates dont always mean "throw away date"
its how your store your food aswell, if you have a yoghurt in your fridge with a useby date of the 21st july its still possible that it could be fine even after the 24th. it depends how cool your fridge is and in what section of your fridge it was stored in.
i have my fridge set really low because my wife loves ice cold milk so things tend to last a lot longer than they should, i also have a chill department inside my fridge which pretty much freezes anything placed into it (mushrooms in there get covered in ice lol).
