Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know
What does anti-waste mean at Candy Dukes ?
At Candy Dukes , nothing goes to waste. Products nearing or past their best-before date are offered at reduced prices, up to 80% off. You get a great deal, and a perfectly good product doesn't end up in the bin. A small step for the planet, and a big treat for those with a sweet tooth.
What is the difference between a DDM and a DLC?
The "use by" date applies to fresh products, such as meat or dairy: once this date has passed, they should no longer be consumed. The "best before" date applies to grocery products: sweets, biscuits, teas, canned goods, sauces, etc. After this date, the product remains safe to eat. Only its quality may change slightly. To reduce food waste, we only offer products with a "best before" date, never with a "use by" date.
Can a product be consumed after its best before date?
Yes. The "best before" date is a quality date, not a safety date. A product stored in good conditions, with its packaging intact, remains safe to consume after the date has passed.
Do zero-waste products taste the same?
In the vast majority of cases, yes. Over time, a biscuit might lose a little crispness or chocolate might develop a slight bloom on the surface, but nothing that spoils the enjoyment. It's the same product, with the same British taste, at a lower price.
Why are these products cheaper?
The closer the best before date, the greater the discount, up to 80% off. The discount is applied automatically: the price shown is the price paid.
How can I find out the date of the product I will receive?
The best before date is indicated on each product page, as well as in your shopping cart and on your order. When several dates are available, you choose your preferred one directly on the product page.
Where can I find anti-waste products?
In our Anti-Waste Products section, updated as new items arrive. Anti-waste products on sale are also marked in all departments.
