There is a difference between "use by" and "best by". Theoretically after the "use by" date, food has only a short time before it's not suitable for consumption whereas after the "best by" date food is still edible but the quality suffers. 

With some things, it's not the food that deteriorates but the packaging, eg cheese.

Once upon a time, unsold bread was returned to the bakery the next day and sold for animal feed. In Australia, H & S regulations were changed and it was not permitted to be used for animal feed. Now the "use by" date on packaged bread is 5 days after the baking date, by which time its practically inedible - the bread is only edible due to added preservatives etc.

The weird thing is how stuff lasts much longer these days. Packaged vegetables and salads are pumped full of C02 to keep them fresh, milk never seems to go off anymore, eggs last forever. This is why they have sell by date to make you throw good food away. 

I've got a fridge with 'blue light technology' dont know wtf it means but everything stays fresh for weeks.

Sure i read somewhere there was a shift away from 'sell by' to 'use by' or at least it was planned or something.

Think all major supermarkets have bought into that, the way it should be. Just do the sight and smell taste
