Episode Details

Most people toss perfectly good food just because of confusing expiration dates—over 80% do it, but experts say most of it’s still safe to eat. With more than 50 different date labels and no standardization (except for baby formula), it’s a mess. California’s new law aims to fix this by requiring only two clear labels: “best if used by” for quality and “use by” for safety. The goal? Slash food waste by helping us trust our senses over labels. Next time you’re about to toss something, smell it, taste a tiny bit—if it’s not spoiled or past its prime, it might still be delicious.
