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 Mars MilkyWay Magic Stars

About Mars MilkyWay Magic Stars

Nobody eats a Magic Star in one go. The face comes off first, and you know it does.

Mars MilkyWay Magic Stars are the little milk chocolate stars that turned up in British lunchboxes and as the bribe for sitting quietly in the back of the car. Small enough to seem harmless. Gone before the end of the road.

They are light, they melt about a second after they land, and a bag lasts roughly as long as an advert break.

Every British kid had a system for eating them. Most grown-ups still do. They just do it with the kitchen door shut.

Frequently asked questions about Mars MilkyWay Magic Stars

Q: Is this the UK version of Magic Stars?

A: Yes, these are the British MilkyWay Magic Stars, made in the United Kingdom, and they ship from within Canada. The same little stars you remember.

Q: Is this the same as the Milky Way bar sold in North America?

A: No. Magic Stars are a British thing: small milk chocolate stars in a bag. Same name on the wrapper, very different sweet.

Q: How big is the bag?

A: It is a 33g bag. Technically shareable. Rarely shared.

Q: Are they good to send to someone as a gift?

A: Very. The bag is small and light, so it slips into a parcel easily, and it gets a bigger reaction than its size suggests.

More about Mars MilkyWay Magic Stars

In Britain, MilkyWay is the light one: the bar with the fluffy centre that got handed out because it felt like less of a commitment. Magic Stars are the bite-sized end of that family, bought for the youngest in the house and quietly pinched by everyone else.

Search for Milky Way in Canada and you land on a different bar altogether, so people who grew up with the stars end up hunting for them by name. They want the stars. Nothing else with the same word on the wrapper will do.

This is the 33g bag, which is one person and one sitting if we are honest with each other. Keep it in a cool, dry cupboard away from the sunny windowsill and it will wait patiently. It fits in a lunchbox, a coat pocket or a parcel heading to someone who misses home.

Whoever picks up a bag of Magic Stars usually leaves with a MilkyWay bar as well, plus a couple of other Mars favourites from the same shelf, for the sake of balance.
