California Takes Action to Clarify Food Expiration Labels

Reported 6 days ago

California has passed a law aimed at reducing confusion over food expiration labels, which often mislead consumers. Effective July 2026, the law will replace vague terms like 'sell by' and 'best before' with clearer labels: 'Best if Used By' for peak quality and 'Use By' for safety. This initiative seeks to cut down on food waste and misinformation, as nearly 20% of food waste stems from unclear labeling practices.
