Well, honey, technically you can use Horlicks after the sell-by date as long as it looks and smells okay. The sell-by date is just a suggestion for peak quality, not a magical expiration date. So, if it's not growing mold or smelling funky, go ahead and mix it up - you might just be fine. But hey, use your best judgment and don't come crying to me if you end up with a bad case of the runs.

The sell-by date on a product like Horlicks is meant to indicate the period of time during which the product is at its peak quality. Consuming Horlicks after the sell-by date may not necessarily be harmful, but there could be a decline in flavor, texture, and nutritional content. It is recommended to use your best judgment, inspect the product for any signs of spoilage, such as unusual odors, flavors, or changes in appearance, before consuming it. If in doubt, it is safer to discard the product.
The countries in which Horlicks is distributed, such as the United Kingdom, tend to use the ddmmyyyy format. It stands to reason that the expiration dates of Horlicks labels use the ddmmyyyy format.
Yes, it should be good after the sell by date, as long as it isn't too old.
In theory you can use anything after the sell by date. It just isn't recommended.
It depends on the law in whichever country or state you live in. I do believe here in Britain, it is legal to sell an item after it's Best-Before Date or Display-By Date so long as it is clearly labelled as such. I don't think it is legal to sell something after the Use-By Date.
Usually the sell by date, but it is still a good guide to when it is ok to eat the food. If it's too long after the sell-by date, it probably won't be good anymore. The dates stamped on canned goods should indicate what they mean. The print will say, 'sell by' or 'use by' or 'best before' and so on, depending on food legislation in your area.
Sell-by is the date the store is supposed to be responsible for getting rid of it by. Use-by is the date guranteed safe to eat by, but they are supposed to be moddest and last beyond the expiration date (the use-by date).
The date by which the manufacturer or shop should have sold the goods. After this date they should not be on the shelves for sale. This sell by date is NOT a use by date. The use by date tells the customer not to use the product after this date because it is now no longer fit to use. This is particularly important for medicines and perishable foodstuff.
It's always best to dispose of food items past their sell by date. In the case of English Mustard, my favorite, I'd get rid of it not long after - a couple of months would be fine, but a year is pushing it.
In the United States, a "sell-by" date identifies the date by which the item should no longer be offered for sale. That should allow the consumer enough time to use the product. It is not an "expiration" or "use-by" date. If a store is still offering food that is beyond the "sell-by", I suggest you contact the local health department with jurisdiction.
It all depends whether it is a sell by date, use by date, or a best before date. If it is a sell by, then that would be an earlier date than an 'eat by' date so it would probably be OK. If it is a best before, then it probably won't taste as good but will still be safe; if it is after a use by date then it may not be safe so you shouldn't eat it.
