WASTING FOOD EVERY DAY ....!!!

 DON’T ALWAYS BELIEVE WHAT THE DATE SAYS! ( BY F. GARCÍA)

According to the writer’s view, on the one hand, nowadays in the world a lot of people don’t have enough to eat and on the other hand,  in Britain (and in Spain as well) households are throwing away millions of tons of food and drink every year.

This fact is due to date on the labelling as these groceries have past the date. However, you can still eat most of them without problem. There are different types of dates depending on the product. The products with “Display until” and “Sell by” cannot be sold after this date, nevertheless, you can eat them for a couple of days later if you put them into your fridge or even weeks or months with products like pasta or rice. Supermarkets often offer these products cheaper a few days before the date. “Best before” is about the product quality, therefore, perhaps it changes the taste and texture of the product after this date, even though you can eat them. “Use by” is the most important and it’s not recommended to eat this food after this date, although it looks OK. Obviously this labelling is used for meat, fish and ready-made food.

In conclusion, a lot of food is being wasted these days because of an unclear product labelling which should be changed
