About “Expired” Food & Beverages
Nearly 40% of food produced in the United States for human consumption is wasted. The average American family throws away several thousand dollars’ worth of perfectly good food and beverages as a result of confusion over “expiration” dates. In addition, grocery stores send millions of dollars of perfectly wholesome food into landfills each year for the same reason.
There is no universally accepted food-dating system in the United States. It is mostly voluntary and is the manufacturer’s best guess at how long the product is expected to last. The dates applied to food are for quality and not for safety and, except for baby formula, product dating is not required by Federal regulations.
- “Best if Used By/Before” date: These are freshness dates that tell you how long the product will be at its best in terms of flavor, texture, and quality. It is not a purchase or safety date, and the food or beverage remains safe to eat or drink after this date.
- “Sell By” date: This date tells a store how long to display the product for sale. This is not a safety date and food and beverages can by consumed after this date.
- “Freeze-By” date: This date indicates when a product should be frozen in order to maintain peak quality. It is not a purchase or safety date.
- “Use By” date: This is the last date recommended for using the product while at peak quality. It is not a safety date except when used on infant formula.
The quality of perishable products may deteriorate after these dates pass, but the products are still safe if handled properly. Lewisco Holdings can take these expired products off your hands.
