Ground's, surely.On two grounds.
“should of” merits being shot
The best before is for in store use only, I'm guessing. As in "bake by". If that's what they mean though they should put that.My 400g sourdough loaf from Sainsbury's has a label saying 'best before' that date when it's put on shelves/baked. How can anything be best before it's able to be consumed?
Of course, pointing this out to bakery staff elicits blank stares or a non-committal grunt. This labelling is fairly recent, as previously it was 'best BY', which is, of course, entirely possible.
My Microsoft Windows sign-in panel has the sentence 'I forgot my PIN' underneath the box. Wrong tense! How can an enormous company make and maintain such a basic English language error?
The proliferation of 'your' instead of 'you're' on pfm posts in recent years tends to indicate falling standards of education in our native and globally prime language. Forget spelling errors, typos and the odd confusion (its/it's); this one seems to be increasing; I wonder why, esp. as it's one word against a contraction of two words.
Language is constantly changing, use best get used to it

“Bare in mind” is a commonly seen mistake on these pages.
In that case somebody has screwed up. My guess is that they are copying the "bake by" date which is for their own use to the retail pack post bake. Complain to the manager.Nope; how can it be when the label is applied to the finished product as it goes on sale?
"A loosening" - singular. "These are" - plural. Is this an example of "loosening" at work?There might be a 'loosening' of grammatical use over decades, but these are minimal and far between.
