If you click a link with an * to go through to a provider, we may get paid. This usually only happens if you get a product from it. This is what funds our team of journalists, and keeps us free to use. Yet there are two crucial things you need to know about this.
- This never impacts our editorial recommendations – if it's in, it's in there because we independently rate it best.
- You'll always get as good a deal (or better) than if you went direct.

'Best before' vs 'use by'
While 'use-by' dates are an important health warning, 'best befores' are simply a manufacturer's guidance of quality. It's perfectly legal to sell goods beyond a best-before date. However, as there's no hard-and-fast rule on how far beyond a best before it's still safe to eat products, you need to make that call yourself.
While look and smell are important and often the best indicators, you can't always tell with packaged items such as these, especially as you won't be able to check each item before it's delivered to you. Though not everything's past its best-before date and Approved Food does tend to display the date online for each product, so you'll likely know before you buy.
What MoneySavers say about Approved Food
Even though Approved Food has a Trustpilot score of 4.1/5, feedback on it is mixed. Some suggest bargains have recently become harder to find, and others say using the cheaper option for post makes it a much slower service. We've seen reports from users across our forum and Trustpilot that the food arrives well packaged and in good condition, and that the food itself is decent quality.
See the MSE Forum for more feedback (good and bad), but do bear in mind that bad news usually travels faster and further.
