Best before date

The best before date (BBD) must be stated on the packaging of a food and is the date up to which a food retains its typical properties under certain storage conditions. On the packaging of Kölln products, you can find the note “Store protected from heat and in a dry place” with the best before date.
The best before date is not an expiry date. If the originally sealed packaging has been stored correctly, a food can be consumed safely even beyond the best-before date. So it's worth taking a close look at the food – if the appearance, smell, taste and consistency are as usual, the product can still be eaten.
If Kölln flakes or a muesli simply smell and taste a little flatter, you can still use them. To use opened packaging more quickly, simply bake cakes or cookies with it.
Our tip: In winter the birds will be happy if you sprinkle fat-roasted oat flakes on their feeding place.
