Food Savings and Food Safety
We will often find discounted grocery items that are close to the BBD, the Best Before Date. The BBD refers to quality when the shelf product is at its peak of freshness. After this date, the freshness may not be there, the chips may not be as crunchy, but the products are still safe to eat.
However, foods that spoil should be consumed as soon as possible, such as meats or dairy, or be frozen. Or, you can make a meal prep and freeze to enjoy at a later date.
On the other hand, the “Expiration Date,” as found on eggs, meat, milk, focuses on food safety and those items should not be consumed beyond the expiry date.
We all do our share to prevent food waste.
