While I don’t think there is anything wrong with the food, I do wonder about the legal issues.

Just get an EO from Bammy.

Grocery Outlet has been doing this for quite some time. Some of their stuff is slightly past the date, which is why it's there. I've done very well there many times price wise and have never had a problem with food being spoiled or moldy or whatever.

There are a few different versions of the date in question. There is "use by", "best by", and "sell by", all set by the manufacturer. The first two are suggestions to the consumer, the last one is an instruction to the retailer.

The only date that the FDA sets and cares about is for baby formula and maybe some baby food.
