How long after date on baby food jar is the food good to use?

Baby food jars typically have a "best by" or "use by" date, which indicates the product's peak quality. Generally, unopened baby food can be safe to use for a few months past this date if stored properly, but it's important to check for any signs of spoilage, such as changes in color, texture, or smell. Once opened, baby food should be consumed within a few days and stored in the refrigerator. Always prioritize safety and consult your pediatrician if unsure.
