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 Terry's Chocolate Orange Large Bar

About Terry's Chocolate Orange Large Bar

Nobody has ever eaten one piece of Terry's Chocolate Orange and stopped there. Nobody.

The Terry's Chocolate Orange Large Bar takes the flavour you know from the famous orange and puts it in a bar. A big one. Same chocolate, same orange, and nothing to whack on the edge of the table first.

If you grew up with it, you know the smell the second the wrapper opens. It goes straight back to someone's living room, a film on, the bar going round with everyone insisting they will only have a bit.

It is a large bar. It will not feel large for long.

Frequently asked questions about Terry's Chocolate Orange Large Bar

Q: Is this the UK Terry's Chocolate Orange?

A: Yes, it is the British bar, the one you remember, and it ships from within Canada, so it has not got far left to travel.

Q: How big is the large bar?

A: It is 330g, which is a proper sharing bar. Whether any sharing actually happens is between you and your conscience.

Q: Is it a good thing to send to someone who misses home?

A: Very much so. Few things say 'I remembered' quite like the exact chocolate orange they grew up with, and a flat bar travels better than a ball.

More about Terry's Chocolate Orange Large Bar

In Britain, chocolate orange is practically its own category, and Terry's is the name everybody means when they say it. Other people make orange chocolate. Only one gets called by its first name in the sweet aisle.

Plenty of people in Canada go looking for it because the flavour is tied to somewhere specific: a gran's sideboard, a long car journey, a lunchbox that was the envy of the class. Finding the actual Terry's, not a guess at it, is the whole point.

The bar format makes life easier than the orange. It breaks into pieces, it shares round a room without anyone needing to tap anything, and it keeps happily in a cool, dry cupboard out of the sun. A proper 330g bar means there is, in theory, enough for everyone. In practice, hide it.

It tends to end up in a basket with other British chocolate and a box of proper tea, which is a sensible evening sorted. Pair it with a brew and accept that the bar is not coming back to the cupboard.

The story of Terry's Chocolate Orange Large Bar

Tap it, then guard it

You know the ritual. One sharp tap on the table, peel back the foil, and it falls open into segments. Then everyone in the room suddenly takes a keen interest in oranges. Terry's began making the Chocolate Orange in 1932, and the segments and that famous tapability made it an instant success. The tap was the selling point then and it is the selling point now. Nobody has ever opened one quietly, and nobody ever will.

Read the full story

Before the orange, an apple

One for the pub quiz. The very first Terry's product was a Chocolate Apple, and the brand was originally Terry's Chocolate Apple, before the orange version existed. The apple had its moment. The orange got the slogans: first 'Tap it and unwrap it', then the rather less polite 'Don't tap it...whack it!' Generations of kitchen tables have taken that advice very much to heart.

A sweet shop near Bootham Bar

Terry's of York goes back to 1767 and a small shop near Bootham Bar, selling boiled sweets and candied fruit, with larger premises in St Helen's Square from 1818. Joseph Terry, born in Pocklington, trained as an apothecary, set up as a chemist in Walmgate and later joined the Berry family confectionery business. Terry's stood alongside Rowntree's and Cravens in York's famous confectionery triumvirate. In 1963 the company passed from the Terry family to Forte Group, then to Colgate-Palmolive in 1977, United Biscuits in 1982 and Kraft Foods Inc in 1993.

Passed round like a segment

Kraft closed Terry's Chocolate Works in York in 2005 and moved production to its factories in Europe. The old works is luxury apartments now, which is one way to live in a chocolate factory. The business returned to the UK in 2019 as Terry's Chocolate Co, based in London. Today Terry's is one of the brands owned by Carambar & Co, a French confectionery company founded in 2016, and is made in Strasbourg. EU regulators authorised Ferrero's planned acquisition of the parent group CPK in October 2025, so another change of hands looks likely. The tap stays the same.
