California Becomes First State to Standardize Food Date Labels
Original: California Standardizes Food Date Labels: The First Statewide Mandate and What's Next
California has enacted the first statewide mandate standardizing food date labels, aiming to end the confusing patchwork of 'sell by', 'best by' and 'use by' phrases that contributes to widespread food waste. Under the new rules, manufacturers will use consistent wording to indicate quality versus safety dates. Food industry and sustainability observers are watching to see whether other states follow California's lead.
Why now: California's first-in-the-nation mandate has implications for food manufacturers, retailers and consumers nationwide, and could prompt other states to act.
