Food when the 'best-before' date is over

Good morning.

What do you call a piece of food when the 'best-before' date on the label is over?

I don't mean 'spoiled' or 'gone off'; I'm simply referring to the date on the label.

Thank you.

It's called out of date food. If it is still within date (before the best-before date), but not by much, it's called short dated food.

It's past its sell-by date.

It's past its best-before date.

It's past its 'best used by' date.
