Expiration Dates?

[blueerica]

Funny this should come up, as I was thinking the very same thing! It's gotten to the point where I've had to change my shopping habits, and end up tossing things I swore used to last longer. I've been helping myself with smaller quantities from the local fruit/veggie stand, but there are some things I just can't seem to get away from the expiry on.

I should look up whether the FDA has made a change (shouldn't be hard to find) - though I'm inclined to believe people are buying less, thus, stuff is "on the shelf" or at least back at the warehouse longer
