Expiration Dates?

[blueerica]

While I generally ignore expiration dates (except when I realize it's been a while since I've opened something, I have definitely noticed foods spoiling sooner. Perhaps the title of this thread is misleading, at least toward what I'm experiencing, particularly with milk (which has in the past month or so spoiled twice before the expiration date).

As for other items, I don't think I buy much with an expiration date... just milk, pre-made broth. I'm just noticing that the cheese is fuzzier sooner, chips are stale more quickly.

That fits with the concept of a reduced delivery schedule to the store. Products are sitting longer in the warehouse or on loading docs where the storage conditions might be less than perfect.
