Often indicated by the phrase &#8220;Best before&#8230;&#8221;, the BBE differs from the Use By date in that exceeding this date does not pose a health risk to the consumer, but simply indicates a decline in product quality. The BBE is set at the manufacturer&#8217;s discretion, who can determine it through appropriate assessments. After the BBE, a product can legally be sold, although its quality may be compromised. The BBE designation is now being progressively replaced by &#8220;Best before&#8230;&#8221; in accordance with the guidelines of the DGCCRF (French Directorate General for Competition Policy, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","categories-glossary":[310],"class_list":["post-161185","dictionnaire-dico","type-dictionnaire-dico","status-publish","hentry","categories-glossary-consumer-behavior-marketing-psychology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dictionnaire-dico\/161185","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dictionnaire-dico"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/dictionnaire-dico"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=161185"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categories-glossary","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digitionary.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories-glossary?post=161185"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
