What is a Consumption Date?

A consumption date, also known as the "use by" date, is the date by which a product should be consumed to ensure its quality and safety. This date is typically determined based on the product's shelf life, which is the length of time the product can be stored under specified conditions while maintaining its desired quality and safety. The consumption date is important for consumers to follow to avoid consuming spoiled or unsafe products. It is commonly found on perishable items such as food, beverages, and pharmaceuticals.

The Consumption Date is 2024-08-11.
