WHAT THE DATE SAYS ... ON PRODUCTS !!!

 DON’T ALWAYS BELIEVE WHAT THE DATE SAYS! (By B.Alba)

Firstly, if a package of food has passed its ‘use by’ or ‘best before’ date, does that mean you should throw it away? The present marketing companies have different strategies in order to increase their goods. Meanwhile the most common is the system of expiration dates that confuses consumers and believes they must discard food in order to protect their own safety, but that isn’t a right point. 

Currently, a reality in many households is they throw out billions of dollars of perfectly good food every year because they misinterpret expiration labels on the packaging. So that we cannot continue making this big mistake because in this 21st century there are still people who go hungry and who died due to poverty, so I mean we should be aware of the great value as well as the food has. On the one hand, lots of studies reveal if the food looks rotten or smells strange you should throw it away. On the other hand, if it just passes the date on the parcel, it doesn’t mean it’s unsafe. What’s more, adding some more information you’re able to eat it with no doubt because it means that groceries nutrients will decline, but they won’t spoil. 

In short, I believe it’s important to look at what is written on the parcel, but you shouldn’t be obsessed with the date. To conclude, if we had been conscious of the bad way of wasting meals, we would have saved up some extra dollars.
