Cost of Living: What can you eat safely after its best before date?

Supermarket giant Morrisons caused a stir at the beginning of the year when it announced it was replacing the use by date on its bottles of milk with a best before date.

Customers were outraged at being told by the retailer to try 'a sniff test' to make sure the milk was still fresh before they used it.
