Food Label Change to Save Your Money + Waste Less Food

Foods labels can get confusing, including the expiration dates. There are so many different terms including 'best by,' 'sell by,' 'use by,' 'enjoy by,' and others. It can be hard to know if that thing in your fridge is safe to eat or not, and all of this confusion means that perfectly good food gets thrown away, along with the money that was spent on it. It'd all be a lot easier if things were less confusing, so the Grocery Manufacturers Association and Food Marketing Institute have brought forward some standardized terms for the industry.
