German term
MHD-rein (Mindesthaltbarkeitsdatum-rein)
German to English
Bus/Financial
Retail
This refers to a retail delivery contract for food items:
Context:
Bei Lebensmitteln wird ausdrücklich eine MHD-reine Anlieferung gefordert. Sollte dies in Ausnahmefällen nicht möglich sein, sind unterschiedliche MHD in separaten Positionen zu liefern und entsprechend MHD-rein zu packen.
I know this is something to do with the best-before date, but I don't know exactly what "rein" means.
Thanks in advance

Selected
same-batch delivery
Or, as Dorothy suggests, a total rephrase:
In the case of food deliveries, we expressly require all items to bear the same BBD (best before date).
"Same-batch" (often a requirement of wallpaper deliveries!) works as a better understood alternative to the BBD acronym.

Thanks. My preference also. Headline offering was a proposal for the search term, an attempt to match it for brevity.
