How do you read the sell by dates on chewing tobacco?

The "sell by" date on chewing tobacco indicates the last date the product is recommended for sale to ensure optimal freshness and quality. It is typically printed on the bottom of the can or pouch. While chewing tobacco can still be used after the sell by date, its flavor and moisture content may decline over time. Always check for signs of spoilage, such as an off smell or dry texture, before use.
