Reducing Food Waste
By understanding expiration dates, you can cut down on throwing away food prematurely. This not only saves money but also benefits the environment by reducing landfill waste and resource use.
When to Play It Safe
- Avoid eating perishable foods like raw meat, dairy, and seafood past their “use by” dates.
- When in doubt, throw it out. Food poisoning is never worth the risk.
Final Thoughts
Food expiration dates are helpful guidelines but don’t tell the whole story. By combining date labels with common sense and good storage habits, you can enjoy your food safely, save money, and reduce waste.
