What Food Expiry Dates Really Mean? [Infographic]
What #Food Expiry Dates Really Mean? [Infographic] | ecogreenlove via @Lakeshore_CC #foodwaste #foodlabels #foodtips
Every year, people throw away millions of tonnes of food they deem not safe to eat. They often check the expiration date, and if the date has passed, the food ends up in the bin. Is our lack of understanding of food labels contributing to food waste?

Are best-before dates on food necessary? Some food charities say it’s time to reevaluate | Globalnews.ca
People may have the wrong idea about best-before dates on their favourite foods. And now, there is a call on the government to reevaluate whether best-before dates on foods are even necessary. John Bailey, the CEO of the Regina Food Bank, said best-before dates are often intertwined with expiry dates, but the two are very different. “The idea of a best-before date is about peak freshness and…

The Capones And Food Labelling
The contentious subject of #datelabels on #foodstuffs and how the #Capones were involved in their introduction @Countrylifemag https://www.countrylife.co.uk/food-drink/curious-questions-can-you-trust-expiry-dates-on-food-251917
The public’s misconception as to what expiry dates on food labelling actually means has lead to significant food wastage, experts claim, and supermarkets are now phasing out their use of best before and expiry dates on most foodstuffs. When did the dating of food start and what had the infamous Chicago mobster, the Capones, have to do with their introduction? My article on Country Life…

Does Water Get Expiry Or Not? Why There Is An Expiry Date In Water Bottles? Probably, we all have used a water bottle in our life. The truth is water will not expire but we all should know why there is an expiry date label in a water bottle. It is because the quality of water gets poor when water is stored in a plastic container. The government has made a law that every water bottle should have an expiry date of 2 years, but still, there is no guarantee that it is safe to drink bottled water. The researchers say that it’s just a prediction. A plastic bottles contains antimony and bisphenol (A), which is toxic to the health of all living beings. These chemicals get leached into bottled water and start to pollute the water. It can happen even faster due to heat which degenerates the plastic and water taste gets changed. There are high possibilities of water getting heated when stored in warehouse, truck, and exposed to sunlight. Drinking bottled water leads to many cancer, problem in the reproductive system, and damage in the immune system. So avoid using a plastic water bottle and stay healthy in the future. You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.
Do Expiry Dates Really Matter?
It’s happened to us all. You reach into the fridge for that carton of milk, looking to add a splash to your coffee or to prep the perfect bowl of cereal, when wouldn’t you know it, it’s expired! But maybe it’s still good even if it’s past the date? Is it worth the risk? To help clear up any confusion, here are a few basic guidelines when it comes to expiry dates.
There’s a difference between “sell by,” “best by,” and “use by” dates. Rather than just looking at the date, have a look at just what kind of date is printed on your packaging.
A “sell by” date is intended for retailers, and while it does in fact indicate a certain degree of product freshness odd are the product in question will have a shelf life that longs exceeds the “sell by” date.
A “best by” date is an indication of product freshness but by no means an expiry date. The product may not be at its best, but it’s most likely perfectly safe to eat and likely still quite tasty.
A “use by” date is a little more serious and tends to indicate a product’s shelf life, but odds are it could still be edible after the date has passed.
Does it pass the smell test? Dairy and meats should have their use by dates taken seriously, but odds are if the product still looks and smells fine, it will taste fine too and be safe to eat, just be sure to cook the meats thoroughly. For eggs there’s always the float test, drop the egg in a glass of water, if it sinks to the bottom it’s still good.
Watch out for mold. Breads may get stale but they’re perfectly fine for consumption after their expiry dates so long as there’s no mold present, and in fact, stale bread makes for the best French toast!

Hi guys!
Last week, I was rummaging through my Mam’s box of shame (a makeup bag full of stuff she got bored with) and came across an old foundation. I loaned my Mam this foundation after my skin began to get too used to it. Unfortunately my skin is a lot lighter than my Mam’s so it ended up in the box of shame.
I was looking through this box the other day for something else and came across my old bottle of Lancome Photogenic Lumessence Foundation. I used to use this a lot at university and stopped using it when I moved to London. When I moved back I bought this bottle for nostalgic value and I could afford it again. So I think that this makes this bottle about two to three years old.
I can sense all expiry date enthusiasts squirming in disgust.
However I have never followed expiry dates. I will keep hold of something for as long at it smells and looks fine.
When I found this everything looked fine; there was no separation in the foundation and it smelled okay. So I used it, and I have used this everyday for about a week. I haven’t had any breakouts or reactions of any kind.
This foundation gives a medium to full coverage and blends really well onto the skin. It photographs wonderfully and gives a nice dewy glow to the skin.
In my eyes, most expiry dates are a load of bollocks. If you look after your makeup by making sure they’re all clicked shut after use and stored sensibly they will be fine. The main indicator that makeup has gone off is if it smells rank. Also makeup is expensive; are you really going to get rid of a £30 after just a year, or a £40 eyeshadow palette after just two years????
The only makeup item I would say to keep an eye on expiry dates is with mascara. Air is constantly being pumped into the product and the wand picks up any bacteria from the eye and adds it too the product. I would only keep hold of a mascara for 3 to 6 months after it has been opened.
So which products have you still got hold of that is past the so-called expiry date.
Bye for now!

How Old is my Makeup?
I have seen this video going around Youtube over the last few weeks. In the video beauty gurus have used the website Check Cosmetics to have a look at how old their makeup really is by typing the batch numbers into the website.
Companies make quite a few products and not all of them are going to sell within the months that they are first produced, so there will be a fair amount of back-log in…
