About our best-before dates

We work hard to bring proper British groceries to Canada, but importing food across an ocean is not as tidy as stocking a supermarket shelf down the road.

Some products arrive with long dates. Some arrive with shorter ones. Different products come through the import process with different shelf lives, so the dates are not always as neat or predictable as they would be in a regular Canadian supermarket.

Most online grocery shops do not show best-before dates unless something is getting close. We do it differently.

If you were shopping in our Halifax store, you could pick up the product, turn it over, and check the date before buying. We think our online customers should get that same level of transparency.

That is why we show best-before dates clearly on our products.

What "best before" actually means

A best-before date is about quality — flavour, texture, freshness, and how the product is expected to be at its best.

It is not the same as a "use by" or expiry date, which only appears on certain regulated foods.

For everyday groceries like chocolate, biscuits, crisps, sweets, tea, sauces, jams, and pantry items, the best-before date is a quality marker, not a safety marker.

Why our dates vary so much

British imports are unpredictable. We do not get to choose every date that arrives in Canada, and different products naturally come with different shelf lives.

A jar of sauce may have months or years on it. A bag of crisps might arrive with a much shorter window and still be completely normal for that type of product.

We check dates, show them clearly, and give you the information before you buy — because that is how it should be.

What the colours mean

  • More than 30 days remaining
  • Within 30 days
  • Within 5 days, or past the best-before date

The product page will still show the actual date, so you can decide what works for you.

Why some customers like shorter dates

Many of our regular customers deliberately shop shorter-dated items when the price makes sense.

A chocolate bar with two weeks left is often every bit as good as one with six months left — and if we can pass on a saving instead of letting perfectly good food go to waste, everyone wins.

It is not about cutting corners. It is about being clear, fair, and sensible with stock that has travelled a long way to get here.

About Cadbury Curly Wurly Squirles

About Cadbury Curly Wurly Squirles

A Curly Wurly was never meant to be eaten neatly. Cadbury Curly Wurly Squirles are that same chewy caramel in milk chocolate, twisted into little bite-sized swirls and tipped into a bag.

No more wrestling a long bar that bends, snaps and leaves half of itself on your jumper. You just reach in. Then you reach in again.

Anyone who spent pocket money on a Curly Wurly knows exactly how that caramel stretches when you pull it apart. It still does.

This is the UK bag, and it ships from within Canada.

Frequently asked questions about Cadbury Curly Wurly Squirles

Q: Are these the same as a Curly Wurly bar?

A: Same chewy caramel, same milk chocolate, just curled up small. Think of it as a Curly Wurly that has finally learned to behave.

Q: How big is the bag?

A: It is an 85g bag of bite-sized pieces. Enough to share, if you are feeling generous.

Q: Do they make a good gift for someone who misses Britain?

A: Very much so. Hand a bag to anyone who grew up with a Curly Wurly and watch them go quiet for a second.

More about Cadbury Curly Wurly Squirles

The Curly Wurly has been on the corner shop counter in Britain for generations. It always looked like better value than anything next to it, and it took longer to eat, which mattered when you were nine. The Squirles keep the chew and lose the faff.

It is the sort of sweet you do not think about for years, then suddenly need. Somebody mentions it, or you spot the wrapper in an old photo, and that is it. Searching for it by name usually means you can already taste it.

The 85g bag is a sharing bag in theory. The pieces are loose and bite-sized, so they go in a lunchbox, on the arm of the sofa during a film, or into a bowl that empties faster than anyone admits. Keep the bag somewhere cool and dry, away from the radiator, so the chocolate holds its shape.

People who pick these up tend to wander over to the rest of the Cadbury shelf: a Dairy Milk, a Crunchie, a Wispa, or a Freddo for whoever claims they did not want any Squirles and then ate most of them.
