Yes, it is necessary to include the expiry or “best by” date on the labels of grocery items. This is important for ensuring that customers receive products that are safe to consume and of high quality. Expiration dates help customers determine when a product is no longer safe to consume, and they also help sellers manage their inventory and reduce the risk of selling expired products. In some countries, including the United States, it is a legal requirement to include expiration dates on food labels. Failing to do so can result in fines, legal action, and damage to the seller’s reputation.
