By not confusing “best before” with “expired” and letting judgment steer your decisions around what to eat and what to trash, you can continue to minimize your risk of food-borne illness while also fighting food waste.
Whether you’re a neatnik who regularly cleans your fridge and pantry or the kind of person who only conducts emergency kitchen culs when something starts to smell funky, how do you decide what to keep and what to toss?
Let’s take a closer look at what "best before” and “expiry” date labels on food packaging really mean and how a more thoughtful approach to kitchen clean-outs can help reduce food waste. What is an “expiry” date food label in Canada? An “expiry” date label is equally literal, indicating the date after which the product should not be consumed because it may be harmful to eat. Eating food after its expiry date can lead to food poisoning or other health risks.
