Expiry dates on food are mainly about limiting manufacturer liability. The food bank here in Nanaimo BC has a food recovery system in place, whereby they send a refrigerated truck around to a bunch of the local grocery stores and collect all the close-dated stuff, which would have been pitched anyway.
