Soup Making Tips -
“Sell By” and “Use By” Date
There is a difference between a “sell by” date and a “use by” date on packages of chicken breasts. If handled properly and kept refrigerated, it is safe to use chicken breasts two to three days beyond the “sell by” date. The “use by” date is the last day by which the chicken should be frozen or cooked.
