What are the expiration dates on foreign foods?

Answer by  salsafoodie (3146)

Depending on the type of foreign food for example if it is perishable then you will need to keep within two weeks.

You need to look on the package and find the date. If there is no date, I would not buy the product. It could have been sitting on the shelves for years. You should buy from a reliable store who deals with reliable dealers. It all depends what foreign foods you are buying.

Most products being shipped to the USA list at least a "best by" date on the can or bottle. So one looks for that.

Well, this depends on the food! If it's dried or canned, you'll be fine, otherwise, air on the side of caution.
