Food

Now that you know the difference between use by, sell by, and best by dates, how will you view expiration dates differently?
Lynelle Oliver 4/04/2018 12:54 PM
News to me.. those cans with past use-by dates are ok to donate. Use by, sell by and best by dates are not safety, but rather quality measures. Except for some products like baby food.

What did you find out? What is the most interesting fact you learned?
Lynelle Oliver 4/04/2018 12:45 PM
Learning the definition of 'Biosequestration' and reading the related materials was very interesting. There are plenty of science and techniques of producing food meeting conservational standards. I had no idea, so a real eye opener for me.
