Kinda full of shit but also depends on how you're storing stuff. A pack of meat is fine if you freeze it on or after the best before date, but if that meat is in my shitty fridge that randomly oscillates between -2 and +7 then maybe don't trust it. Most foods you can smell or see if they've gone off or not; mold is a good indicator as is a pungent smell on a food that usually has no smell. I usually don't take chances with dairy or eggs but I'll roll the dice on packaged snacks or juices.
