Can I feed my pet Harringtons food that’s past its best-before date?

For the health and safety of your pet, always prioritise feeding food that’s fresh and within its recommended date range. While it may be safe to feed Harringtons food after the best-before date, we don’t recommend it. The nutritional quality of the food may no longer be complete due to vitamin degradation over time. To ensure your pet gets the best nutrition, it’s always best to use the food before the indicated date.

What should I check before feeding past the best-before date?
If you’re considering feeding the food, check for any signs of spoilage, such as:

  • A noticeable off smell
  • Visible changes in texture or appearance

If any of these signs are present, do not feed the food to your pet.

Important note about “use by” dates
If the packaging is marked with a "use by" date instead of a "best before" date, the food is no longer safe to feed once the date has passed. You should discard any food that is past its use-by date.
