The "Best If Used By" date on package is used to inform consumers about the shelf lives of our products so that they will know how long they can expect their products to deliver a high quality eating experience. We test our products with a third party laboratory to determine this date, and recommend that you consume the product before its "Best By" date expires.
Individual retailers make the final decisions about which products they will sell. If you cannot find a specific product you're looking for, please ask your store manager if they could carry the product.
All major food allergens are shown on the ingredient list of our products and will be noted in a "Contains" statement just after the ingredient list.
