New Food Labeling Rules: Quality and Discard Dates
This act establishes uniform rules for food date labels, helping consumers understand when food is best to eat and when it should be discarded. The goal is to reduce food waste and improve safety. Food producers can choose whether to include these dates, but if they do, they must use specific, standardized phrases.
Key points
Introduces two types of food dates: a quality date ("BEST If Used By") and a discard date ("USE By").
These dates are optional for food producers, but if used, they must follow a uniform format, making them easier for consumers to understand.
The act aims to educate consumers on the meaning of these dates to help them make informed decisions about food consumption.
It prevents states from setting different date labeling requirements, ensuring consistency nationwide.
