Best before date expired - what does this mean for chocolate?
Like many other foods, chocolate also has a best-before date (BBD). But does chocolate go bad after this date and has to be thrown away? Spoiler Alert: No & No! Like all manufacturing companies, we at fairafric try to balance demand and supply as well as possible and maintain a perfect production plan so that the chocolate is not too close to the best-before date and may no longer be purchased by retailers. But that's not always so easy. As a fast-growing company in a currently highly volatile market, there are unfortunately times when we stand in front of our shelves and realize: oops, it really has to go soon!

FAQs
Depending on the type of chocolate, the chocolates have different minimum shelf lives:
Vegan dark chocolate lasts 24 months from production, chocolate with milk 18 months and chocolate with nuts 12 months.
We guarantee that our chocolates can be enjoyed in top quality until the best-before date. If stored correctly, the chocolate will keep long after the best-before date. It is best to store them in an airtight and dry place at temperatures between 14-19 degrees.
