Food Dates Are Mostly Misleading | Montpelier News

Stop tossing perfectly good food just because of confusing date labels—most aren’t safety warnings, they’re quality tips. California’s new law forces two clear labels: best by (taste) and use by (safety). Unopened canned goods, dry snacks, and shelf-stable drinks often last way past their dates. Use your senses to judge freshness, but be extra careful with meat and fish. Bacteria need moisture, so dry foods stay safer longer. It’s time to trust your taste buds and stop wasting food and cash.
