In this webinar, Spoonfuls and the Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy Clinic will bust the persistent myths around “expiration dates” on food, and set the record straight. They will discuss:
- The origins of food date labeling, including how a lack of federal regulation and the resulting state patchwork of date label legislation, causes consumer confusion and, more importantly, significant food waste.
- The impacts of that wasted food – on people, the planet, and on your wallet! – and what attendees need to know to make decisions about date labels on food in their home, using Spoonfuls’ own guidelines as a resource.
- The current policy landscape around improving date label standards and opportunities to support those efforts.
