Here's a quick quide to the dates on your food:

"sell by" is more a guide for the store to know how long it can display a product for sale.
"best before" or "best if used by" date- refers to a quality or flavor of the food.
"Use by" works more like an expiration date, similar to that on medicines, and taking them after the date is not recommended.
