It sucks that there's so little expertise or interest in being academic about it. Over the decades these things have been running for, there should be a database of which foods are generally fine to ignore any best by date, what specifically is best by that date and how it isn't as good after, what to watch out for on the safety side of things, and when to not risk it.
