Food Dates Explained for Our buyers.

This information comes from the USDA (Food Safety and Inspection Service) website.

 

Does Federal Law Require Food Product Dating? 

Except for infant formula, product dating is not required by Federal regulations.[1]

 
Are Dates for Food Safety or Food Quality?
Manufacturers provide dating to help consumers and retailers decide when food is of best quality. Except for infant formula, dates are not an indicator of the product’s safety and are not required by Federal law.

 
What Date-Labeling Phrases are Used?
There are no uniform or universally accepted descriptions used on food labels for open dating in the United States.  As a result, there are a wide variety of phrases used on labels to describe quality dates.

 

Examples of commonly used phrases:

     ·    "Best if Used By/Before" date indicates when a product will be of best flavor or quality.  It is not a purchase or safety date.

     ·     "Sell-By" date tells the store how long to display the product for sale for inventory management.  It is not a safety date. 

     ·     “Use-By" date is the last date recommended for the use of the product while at peak quality. It is not a safety date except for when used on infant formula as described below.

     ·     “Freeze-By” date indicates when a product should be frozen to maintain peak quality. It is not a purchase or safety date.


What Date-Labeling Phrase Does FSIS Recommend?

USDA estimates that 30 percent of the food supply is lost or wasted at the retail and consumer levels.[3] One source of food waste arises from consumers or retailers throwing away wholesome food because of confusion about the meaning of dates displayed on the label. To reduce consumer confusion and wasted food, FSIS recommends that food manufacturers and retailers that apply product dating use a “Best if Used By” date. Research shows that this phrase conveys to consumers that the product will be of best quality if used by the calendar date shown. Foods not exhibiting signs of spoilage should be wholesome and may be sold, purchased, donated and consumed beyond the labeled "Best if Used By" date.
