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 Moo Free White Chocolate Advent Calendar

About Moo Free White Chocolate Advent Calendar

December does not properly start until somebody opens the first door before breakfast. The Moo Free White Chocolate Advent Calendar is that door, and the one after it, all the way down to Christmas Eve.

A little piece of white chocolate a day, from a British maker. It is the countdown that lived on the fridge or leant against the mantelpiece, the one you were told not to open early and opened early anyway.

This is the UK calendar, and it ships from within Canada, so a British Christmas can start counting down here too.

Frequently asked questions about Moo Free White Chocolate Advent Calendar

Q: How big is it?

A: It is a slim 70g calendar, a little piece of white chocolate behind each door. Small enough for a bedroom shelf, big enough to start a daily negotiation.

Q: Is it a good Christmas gift for someone who misses home?

A: Very much so, as long as it arrives before December. Every morning they open a door, they will think of home, and possibly of you.

Q: How does it arrive?

A: Packed flat and carefully in a parcel, so the doors stay shut until they are meant to open. What happens after that is between them and their conscience.

More about Moo Free White Chocolate Advent Calendar

In Britain the advent calendar is not optional. It goes up on the first of December, usually in the kitchen, and the morning door becomes a ritual as fixed as the school run.

People in Canada look for this one because it is the countdown they grew up with, and they want the kids to have the same small daily argument about whose turn it is. Some buy it for themselves. Nobody has to know.

It is slim and light, with 70g of white chocolate spread across the month, so it stands happily on a shelf or tucks into a parcel. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, well away from the radiator, or the later doors will have a hard time of it.

It tends to go home alongside the rest of a UK Christmas: a selection box for Christmas morning, a tin for passing round after dinner, a few stocking fillers. The calendar just gets there first.

The story of Moo Free White Chocolate Advent Calendar

One door a day, allegedly

Nobody has ever opened just the one door. You know this. You have watched a child find tomorrow's chocolate by Tuesday lunchtime and look you dead in the eye. Moo Free's White Chocolate Advent Calendar is that whole December ritual: the countdown on the kitchen windowsill, the row over whose turn it is, a British Christmas getting closer one door at a time. And it exists because people asked Mike and Andrea Jessop for exactly this, over and over, until they made one.

Read the full story

They put the house on it

In 2008 the Jessops made a small number of Easter eggs. They proved so popular that the requests came flooding in, an Advent calendar among them. So they re-mortgaged their house to pay for machinery and ingredients, then spent two years perfecting the recipe. Moo Free officially launched in May 2010. The idea from the start was to let more children join in the traditional seasonal chocolate occasions, Easter eggs and Advent calendars included. Nobody should have to watch from the sidelines while the doors get opened.

Devon, then a fair bit further

Holsworthy, Devon is home. A second factory opened there in 2014, right next to the first, to meet rising global demand. In 2016 Moo Free won a Queen's Award for Enterprise, after tripling its production capacity to supply the US and Chinese markets and exporting to more than 30 countries. Back home, their chocolate has been stocked in over 400 Marks and Spencer stores across the UK. Not bad for a couple who started with a few Easter eggs and a re-mortgaged house.

Still the Jessops' show

Moo Free is still family-run, still led by Mike and Andrea, and now employs over 60 people in Devon. The factories and head office send zero waste to landfill. Which leaves just one waste problem for your December: the empty calendar on Christmas Eve, every door hanging open, and someone insisting it was like that when they found it.
