Yes. According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, best before dates indicate peak quality and freshness, not safety. A product past its best before date may have slight changes in taste or texture but is perfectly safe to consume.

A best before date is a quality indicator- it tells you when a product is at its freshest. An expiry date is a safety indicator and appears on products like medication and infant formula. Everything in this collection carries a best before date, not an expiry date, so it is safe to enjoy.

Our products travel directly from South Africa to Calgary. Some items arrive with a shorter remaining window before their best before date, so rather than remove them from the shelf we discount them and pass the saving on to you. You get authentic South African products at a better price and nothing goes to waste.

It varies by product. We display the specific best before date on every listing so you can see exactly what you are purchasing before adding anything to your cart.
