The article from Yahoo Lifestyle titled "Understanding Food Expiration Dates and Preventing Food Waste" explains the significance of food expiration dates and how to interpret them to reduce food waste. It highlights that terms like "Sell By," "Use By," and "Best By" have different meanings: "Sell By" is for store inventory management, "Use By" indicates the last date of peak quality, and "Best By" suggests when the product will be at its best flavor or quality. The article emphasizes that most foods remain safe to eat past these dates if stored properly, and provides tips on how to assess food safety through sensory evaluation, such as checking for spoilage signs like off odors, sliminess, or mold. It also discusses the environmental and economic impact of food waste, encouraging consumers to use their judgment and reduce unnecessary discarding of food to help the planet and save money.
