[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3847463, member: 5412"] Here is the deal folks. The date on food stuffs is out there to alert what they think might be the time it has the peak of flavor which is not alway correct and to aid retailers in putting the oldest goods for sale or in general rotation of goods on the shelf. It’s a voluntary thing with those that sell food to retailers. The federal government only requires actual go bad dates on baby formula. Nothing else. Yeah, it’s on the internet but WebMD is typically a fairly reliable source of info. “The dates you see on food labels are not usually related to food spoilage. Instead, the dates tell you how long food maintains the best taste and texture. Federal law does not require food quality dates except on infant formula.” [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.webmd.com/diet/features/do-food-expiration-dates-matter#:~:text=You%20can%20eat%20food%20after,after%20the%20sell%2Dby%20date.[/URL] I hate it when there are food drives for the poor and thousands of pounds of food is thrown out because the uninformed think the day after the date on the can it’s unhealthy. Exactly the opposite is true. [/QUOTE]
