Difference Between Expiration Date and Best Before Date

The expiration date refers to the "safe to eat by" date, while the best before date refers to the "best taste" period. Even after the best before date has passed, it doesn’t necessarily mean the food becomes inedible immediately, but it is recommended to consume it within the given time frame for optimal taste.

Emergency Earthquake Alerts

Emergency Earthquake Alerts provide only a few seconds to tens of seconds between the time the information is received and the strong shaking of the earthquake. You need to take protective actions within this very short time frame.
