Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you for your answer. Are you sure that "konsumohet" is the right word? and "ambalazh"? The translation that I have for the "Use by" variant is "Përdorimi deri në datën e printuar mbi paketim"

2. Data do të shoqërohet me fjalët:
- “preferohet të përdoret përpara …” kur data përfshin deklarimin e ditës,
- “preferohet të përdoret përpara fundit …” në rastet e tjera.

Preferohet të përdoret përpara datës së shtypur në (ambalazh).
ambalazh = packing
in reference to the food labeling law: write the exact location of the date (Many foods have a: Best before date printed on the label.) go to - http://faolex.fao.org/ Look for: preferohet te (include full texts)

In fact, it is the same document I sent you (in case you think to use:
Best before date printed on the label.)
Preferohet të përdoret përpara datës së shtypur në etiketë.

yes I know but you must write the exact location of the date - on the package - where? - see bottom - on the bottom of the can - on top of end panel etc.

Note to reference poster
Asker: Thank you! That is probably what I need (unless if there is a newer regulation - I can not open the reference link). Could you please post the complete answer? (I need the exact phrase to be placed on the product)

Asker: Thanks again. I think I've found the legislation - http://www.bashkialushnje.gov.al/bk/images/stories/2/ligjet/31.pdf

Asker: It's not on "etiketë" but I appreciate the info!

Asker: Well, I did not want to abuse your kindness so I settled for the general translation. The locations the shelf life information will refer to will be: PET bottle cap and plastic lid, as well as the products' boxes. In any case, please post your answer so that I can close the question and give you the more than well deserved points :)
