In a context of climate emergency that calls for change, food is an essential subject, which concerns each of us, without exception.
At the crossroads of energy, agriculture, biodiversity, transport and health issues, food is at the heart of today's environmental and social issues.
Every year, a third of food production is lost or thrown away.
Use-by dates contribute to this waste, which could easily be avoided if we were better informed.
Indeed, there are two types of dates:
“Consume until” - Use-by date (BBD): this is a health date, after which the product may present health risks.
"To be consumed preferably before/end" - Minimum Durability Date (MDD): this is an indicative date, after which the product can evolve, but without health risks.
Our advice? Observe, smell, taste before throwing away!
