Seriously.I know that honey can crystallise but this can be remove using warm water or something.Then why do honey bottles have an expiry or best before date?

Two reasons:
1. So people have an idea when the honey was freshest,
2. Food and Drug Administration regulations state that ALL food have a 'best before' date on it.

It will lose nutrition with light exposure just light everything else I think thus making the nutrition chart inaccurate so the date is prob an estimate of time for the chart to be right under average conditions. Much like medicines they just lose potency but few really go bad. If you are into honey buy it from a small farmer somewhere as it is 100million^9 times better than that store honeybear and kfc packaged crap they call honey.

Because our gov. doesn't differentiate anything from anything else. Yes honey only crystalizes which warm water will heal.
