Expiration dates are not really what we think.

politicians need expiration dates.

I use the expiration date for rotational purposes. I'm slowly eating the dry and canned stuff I bought for the lockdowns. Last week I ate a can of baked beans that "expired" in 10/21. Nothing happened. I'm still here. As long as the can isn't damaged and the ends aren't bulging, you SHOULD be good.

They aren't "expiration" dates, they're sell by dates.

@carolina_bonita I opened a can of green beans that expired a couple years ago. They looked good, smelled good, tasted good. I lived. My granny had a shed full of preserves that no telling how old they were and they were delicious!

Built in obsolescence so people will buy more and more and more and,,,

I went thru the patent process and paid for a patent in efforts to make a protein bar. When I had to submit the ingredients to get the nutrition label, they do not require a sample for testing what is in your product. Only a sample to determine water content. You send in a PDF file of what your ingredients are….just write them down and they don’t test for said ingredients. Only certain parameters regarding labeling NON GMO/Organic. I asked the company I was working with if you can lie about sugar content and actually make your product sweeter than what the label says. In theory he said yes. If a member of the public were to test your product themselves and they find out the ingredients are wrong, they then can sue and find you liable or a class action suit. Big Companies don’t rat each other out for fudging their ingredient labels. Nobody in the general public are testing candy bars etc….until recently. The labels are pay to play. More labeling equals more testing. If I or you wanted to get all the fancy Organic Non GMO labels….you simply have to pay for them. It’s all a scam.

Tell that to 3weeks old bread 🍞 😂

So I could have eaten this today? Shucks! 🤣

Local group collects food to send to Haiti but only excepts food with expiration dates no shorter than 1year away. As if starving peeps care bout dates

stop buying packaged food; humans are in fact stupider than animals and this fact re: food is the obvious point of proof

I still smell milk before I use it... even if it is fresh from the store. Only takes once of opening a carton of milk and taking a big gulp and it being chunky.

Does this also apply to expiration dates on medicines? 🤔

I’ve never once consulted a expiration date. Feels good to fade a psyop here and there

they want us dead.

Probably! Yep. 👍

The only date needed on those products is the packaging date. Leave the rest up to people, or we'll get dumber and dumber about food.

NEVER HAVE I TRUSTED AN EXPIRATION DATE. I ALSO TRUSTED MY OWN JUDGMENT. JUST SAYING. I KNEW THEY WERE MADE UP ALL ALONG.

@CardioFixer 🦅🇺🇸 In PA, only 2 things foodservice has to throw out or get a code violation for being past date: baby food & milk. All other items, the dates are just freshness dates used for FIFO, First In, First Out.

I've only ever used it as a rough guide. I'll will eat pretty much anything past it's date not sea food, Ate cake 3 year's old canned goods up to 10 year's even cooked meats over week. Use best judgement

The milk one is pretty accurate.

They put expiration dates on water 😆🤔

If you have at least one eye and a nose use them before throwing it out. Get used to the way something smells when it smells even a bit off and look for the beginning of mold which can start out white and fluffy. F these crooks. Don't take a chance if your just not sure.

They are made up, the only food that is by law required to have a date is baby food. Its marketing sell by,use by are too. And people go and buy them again, when they just tossed out a usable item. They home canned food that could last years and cured meats for months

Tablet-form medicines last for years … maybe decades. If you get prescribed a strong pain-relief medicine and don’t use all of it, keep it for a later date when you might need it! Seniors know this — especially now with all the government’s over-regulated faux-oversight!

It doesn’t matter now expire or not, what it matters now is that all food it’s contaminated or it’s fake food or even worst, human flesh 😳🤮 “ SOYLENT GREEN”

It’s mostly now ‘ best before dates ‘ and yes some expiring dates .

Just like my name, it's all a play.

All this AI video proves is that it's there for the exact reason we think.. Notice at the beginning when the AI said "Because store owners needed a way to rotate the items" meaning the older items are no longer good or rotation would not matter...

@grok is this true

Yrs. ago I was having all my first aid kits refilled on jobsite. They wanted to throw out q-tips, because they “expired”, haha..Sticks w/cotton on the end, in a plastic jar w/lid. 🤦‍♀️

@KeriA1776again Yup..the faster you throw them out.. the faster you purchase more.. Cha ching

My grandparents were right afterall!!!

The elephant in the room…the more stuff gets thrown out before or by the expiration date, the more they sell.

Yeah learned that years ago sometimes things last way past the date other times they go out way before time I've always said you cant go on on a date got go on just the product and watch it

@Teri68887547 🤔

Risk mitigation…if a food company kills somebody, it costs them tens of millions of dollars. Processes are imperfect so food companies have to bid in safely factors to mitigate risk…against lawsuits.
