expiration dates
Food safety cutoffs
Expiration dates are the dates after which something is no longer valid, safe, or effective.
Food expiration dates indicate when products may spoil; medication expiration dates mark when drugs lose potency.
Documents like passports and licenses have expiration dates after which they must be renewed.
