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 McCoy's Classic Crisps Variety

About McCoy's Classic Crisps Variety

Some crisps you eat. McCoy's you hear, from the next room, during the quiet bit of the film.

The McCoy's Classic Crisps Variety 6 pack is the multipack from home: six bags of those thick, ridged crisps that stand up to a sandwich and refuse to go soft in a lunchbox.

A mix of the classic flavours means there is a favourite in there for everyone. There is also always one bag that sits at the bottom of the box for a week while everybody claims they are saving it for someone else.

Then it goes. Nobody saw who.

Frequently asked questions about McCoy's Classic Crisps Variety

Q: Is this the UK version of McCoy's?

A: Yes, these are the British McCoy's, made for the UK market, and we ship them from within Canada. Same ridges, same crunch you remember.

Q: How many bags are in the pack?

A: Six individual bags in a mix of the classic flavours. Enough to share, if you are feeling generous.

Q: Would they make a good gift for someone who misses home?

A: For a lot of British people in Canada, a bag of McCoy's is a quicker trip home than a flight. Put them in a box with some tea and biscuits and you have a parcel that gets opened very fast.

More about McCoy's Classic Crisps Variety

McCoy's live in the pub lunch and packed lunch corner of British snacking: the bag torn open beside a pint, the crunch alongside a cheese and pickle sandwich. Ridged crisps are their own thing in the UK, and McCoy's is the name most people reach for first.

People who move to Canada tend to miss the small things before the big ones. Not the Sunday roast, but the Tuesday lunchbox with a bag of McCoy's tucked in, and that particular snap the ridges make. That is usually what gets typed into a search bar at eleven at night.

Six individual bags means one for the lunchbox, one for the walk, one for the sofa and three for later, which is the theory. Kept sealed in a cool, dry cupboard they sit happily until wanted. In practice, they are wanted fairly quickly.

The baskets that have McCoy's in them usually have a box of proper tea bags, a jar of pickle and a packet of biscuits as well. A ploughman's at home is not a ploughman's without a bag of crisps on the side.
