Currently, there's no federal law in the U.S. on date labels for food other than baby formula.
Best-before labels are standard on many of our foods, but they're leading to a lot of waste. An estimated 4 million tons of food is wasted a year in the U.S. because of confusion over these labels.
“Most of the time, they think this is a hard deadline for food safety, and you know they daresn't go over that date for fear of what it might do to them,” said food law expert Michael Roberts. “So it's a consumer entrenched consumer expectation and behavior is hard to change.” Roberts believes there's an appetite for standardized labels. But any real change will have to come from the food industry, not the government, he said.
