I always check the expiration date in the story. Usually, they vary greatly - though that is less the case with a mass product like milk. Sometimes, products they are selling are even expired.
It seems that it's more nuanced than removing the date entirely, but it's still an absurd surrender to climate cultists.
Normal people will, but a store or restaurant may have a policy/requirement to not use product past a "use by" date and may treat a "best before" date as a different thing.
I used to go to a deli that wouldn't sell unopened bags of potato chips past the date, though I don't remember if it was a "use by" or "best before".
Stores and restaurants should have the same requirement for both. An individual can make the decision for themselves when a bottle of milk is no longer fit for human consumption, but if you're selling it to the general public it sure as hell better be.
I mean that's good advice. Unopened dairy is perfectly fine for weeks, sometimes months, past the expiration date. Hell, even a year or more on a lot of other stuff is still fine.
But how is some company replacing the words "use by" with "best before" newsworthy?
a bold step
Really? A bold step? These retarded virtue-signalling fuckers are so full of themselves.
I always ignore dates and rely on my nose, which is a much more accurate judge. Sometimes dairy products within their "safe" dates have been left in a warm place and they go bad early. Your nose will know, but the dates will not.
This sounds like an insane conspiracy theory, but it's not so crazy if you're aware of how vegans have been using all sorts of underhanded tactics to push their shit as of late. There was a story within the last few months about how Kumswala said she tries to go vegan before 6 PM. Of course it wasn't enough for the PETA lunatics and they're trying to tie their bullshit into the left's climate scam. I'm fairly positive that the big thing around Biden supposedly planning on limiting people's meat consumption was a trial balloon.
Virtue signaling. She wants brownie points for veganism without actually being vegan. I don't know why she expected the likes of PETA to take the bait, but that was the motivation.
Vegans are not being underhanded. Clearly stating that I choose not to be involved in exploiting animals is crystal clear.
A vegan might think you are an asshole for exploiting animals, but they will never force you to stop. Veganism is an informed choice, it is always a choice to not exploit animals.
Politicians on the other hand will coerce, cajole, and compel you to make a choice, but do not confuse which party is which.
Have had an unopened carton of milk(only do full-fat, have no clue how anything with more sugar and less fat would keep) be perfectly fine a month past it's date when opened(fridge at approx 2 degC)
They're trying to get you to buy something that will soon turn bad by claiming that it is still good for a few days after. So either you have to use it all as quickly as possible or you're going to wind up trashing it and buying a new one.
Also, I never heard of anyone who doesn't use the "best before" as an expiration date.
I use very little dairy most of the time. Buy lactose free/lactose reduced milk. Their best before date is usually months ahead, and while it says it lasts a week once opened, sniff/taste test had repeatedly confirmed that it lasts much longer than that.
Where I live, there packaging usually says to consume the milk within 5 days of opening. I usually prefer one brand that says that it's good for 7 days afterwards.
Morrisons said its research showed that milk does not need to be labelled as a perishable food. "The dates on the milk will stay the same - it is what we are asking customers to do which is changing," the supermarket said.
Unless that shit is vacuum sealed, ultra-pasteurized, and stored in a light-proof, temperature-controlled environment, it's perishable - and it's not like they're doing anything different, the dates are still going to be there. Any milk that has had the seal on it broken is on a ticking clock. Anyone who drinks it or uses it in cooking on the regular knows this, and knows well enough to give it a sniff test if it's been in the fridge for more than a week. These morons at Morrisons aren't doing a damn thing to reduce waste, other than patting themselves on the back for 'doing a thing'.

i hate it when the tranny benis is out of date
Worse than than, people will associate "best before" with things like milk that actually go bad and fast.
Result will be even more waste from people throwing out nuts or grains or things that last way past their 'best' date.
Normal people will, but a store or restaurant may have a policy/requirement to not use product past a "use by" date and may treat a "best before" date as a different thing.
I used to go to a deli that wouldn't sell unopened bags of potato chips past the date, though I don't remember if it was a "use by" or "best before".
and use by, literally means it wont be edible tomorrw, (or thats what it should).
best before only means a quality change, not an edibility change.

Even the fucking USSR had expiration dates.
Yes. It expired in 1991.
How is that even legal in the UK with its extensive welfare state?
I mean, this will probably fly in MURICA where you have "sick days", but in the UK?
Even Rapegangistan has higher standards than that, I hope.
Good lord - expiration dates are one of the basics of food safety and quality.
Frankly this is probably some SJWs elaborate plan to get people to stop drinking milk to decrease cow herds and save the planet.

What is this even supposed to accomplish

Vegans torture animal by trying to make them vegan.
Some think vegans are assholes for exploiting an even more vulnerable life form.
No problem, anyone gets sick and it's a COVID case.
This is oppressing and endangering people who have limited sense of smell and/or taste. Corporate ableism.
:)
Morrisons has absolutely no incentive to reduce waste, as that would reduce purchases. There is more behind this.
If I have no 'use by' date, then I will simply buy no milk at all. Or throw it away if I have any doubt.
I hope these sociopaths go bankrupt.
It should have been "best before" in the first place. Bothers me none lol
This is completely insane... My god.
We really do live in the end times... :-/
Just how many people will need to get sick from this before they quietly reverse it, hmm..?
It's there for a reason, eeeedjits. facepalm
Maybe that's the point?
This will be the same as Australia.
People don't read them and I've never heard of anyone talking about the difference which is literally in black and white, a different sentence.
If a perishable product doesn't have a proper expiration date on the package I won't be buying it.
Have had an unopened carton of milk(only do full-fat, have no clue how anything with more sugar and less fat would keep) be perfectly fine a month past it's date when opened(fridge at approx 2 degC)
What do they do to your milk to make it 'be fine' for a month?
"We're going to get fucking lazier and skrimp extra harder to fuck you over. You know, for greenery shit and all that."
They're trying to get you to buy something that will soon turn bad by claiming that it is still good for a few days after. So either you have to use it all as quickly as possible or you're going to wind up trashing it and buying a new one.

The trick is that it's ultra-pasteurized.
But, that said, this milk is d-e-a-d dead. No beneficial bacteria, denatured enzymes. All it's turned into is fatty sugar water.
Where I live, there packaging usually says to consume the milk within 5 days of opening. I usually prefer one brand that says that it's good for 7 days afterwards.
