Food Waste Solutions

Confusion around food labeling contributes significantly to food waste, as many people discard items based on unclear dates. A proposed bill aims to introduce two distinct dates on packaging: "best if used by" and "used by," providing clearer guidance on food freshness. However, concerns arise about potential over-caution from manufacturers, leading to even more waste. Instead of solely relying on labels, using personal judgment, like the "sniff test," could help reduce unnecessary food disposal.
