                    [Summary] => Q. A college student from the University of Sto. Tomas asks: "My best friend bought two loaves of bread from a bakery store. The labels were marked "consume before 10 July 2002". My friend was not able to consume the other  loaf before the indicated date. However, she noticed that it still looked and smelled fine after the date. Is it still safe to eat the bread at the end of the "consume before" date indicated on the label?
