like half of them are yes

its worst on chemicals, theres chemicals that will last for like 100 years and they have expiry dates after 3 years

>>508954290 (OP)
Not if your storing botulism.

A scam for the supermarkets. It encourages them to rotate stock.

Half of them are for liability, the other half are genuine. Shit breaks down yo.

Best before is not expiration

My wife took this pill about two years ago now I’ve always got rotten milk and expired products in the fridge

>>508956755
I didn't save the link but saw a study that the enzymes in spoiled milk kills prions. You have to drink like a gallon though.

>>508954290 (OP)
No, but they have room for error. They have to account for varying transport and storage conditions.

>>508957095
Cool, I just tried it and all my prions are gone. Thanks

Oh wait I don't feel so good

>>508957038
Kek, she probably was just sick of cleaning out the fridge.

I had a temporary job where all we did was get expired cat food and change the expiration date and ship it back out

>>508954290 (OP)
When it comes to dairy products and non frozen meat, sure follow the use by date. But most canned food can be safely consumed years after the expiry date.

Best before does not mean bad after.
Is /pol/ literally 3 years old?

>>508956170
it's way more than half, it's probably closer to all of them except for obvious products that are not shelf stable, like milk for example

>>508954290 (OP)
Can is fine unless dented/rusted etc. Open it, if in doubt, throw it out. Cans are fine like 5+ years after "best before", which is just for premium texture/taste

>>508954290 (OP)
Almost everything that ages is due to temperature, either fluctuation or just heat. Keep almost anything at constant 35F and it lasts forever.

It's a spider web due to government regulation, lawsuit evasion, and greed. There is a bunch of fronts on it. The best way to deal with it is to be knowledgeable on how long it takes food to expire and having the ability to sniff food. Sense of smell is evolutionary to keep you away from things that are bad. If it smells bad it's bad 99% of the time. It's like a jeet, it smells bad so its bad. Spoiled milk and Jeets are one of the same.
ps. fuck niggers

>>508958025
it's also contamination. Contamination is amplified by increased temperature allowing bacteria to grow.

who here knows about storing good weed. just jar it? does the type of jar matter? how long can it last?

>>508958355
Good weed can last a month or two. Jarring it in a mason or plastic one you probably got from the dispensary works just fine.

>>508954290 (OP)
It says "best by" for a reason. After that it might still be edible but there is no guarantee it will taste any good.

>>508956798
This

>>508954290 (OP)
No. Whenever I’ve eaten a product that was in its expiration date it tasted bad

>>508958355
>PGRslop
>good weed

>>508956918
It was funnier that way.

I didn't expect this thread to last, I was simply goofing off

Kina, they're off by a few weeks purely because of lawsuits so ppl dont come blaming companies that their shit is off, depending on the item you can eat eat weeks after that date

>>508957372
>non frozen meat
Frozen meat goes bad too. You ever have a a 3+ year old pork chop from the back of the freezer? It doesn't taste good. Freezing isn't indefinite, dehydrating isn't indefinite either but it lasts a lot longer depending on what was dehydrated. Canning isn't indefinite either. Everything has a shelf life and spoils. That's simply the way matter works.

Expiration dates are a legitimate topic of discussion. I have butter cookies (short bread?) that were supposed to have a best buy date of 2018 and they're still going.

>>508954290 (OP)
do you understand what legal liability during sales is

>>508954290 (OP)
The date you find for manufactured food products are there for quality purposes, not for safety. The company is telling you if the product is consumed after this date they do not guarantee the product will taste the best or have the right consistency. Manufacturers of food are not required in the us to put a safety date on packaged food because the assumption is all of the bad bacteria was either killed during the manufacturing process or it’s growth is controlled by other factors like ph, water activity or oxygen availability. The only thing left that should be able to grow are spoilage bacteria and if they have multiplied enough to get you sick the food with have physical signs of spoilage and won’t be consumed.

>>508954290 (OP)
No, they are forced to put expiry dates much sooner than the average time of expiry, to avoid instances in which a product spoils faster than intended because various of issues like temperature or improper storage conditions. It's better to lose money on a few unsold batches that reach expiry, than to lose millions in lawsuits.

Yeah the prions can't live in your body once you die from dysentery

Theyre just guidlines
Storage conditions and packaging material can make a huge difference

>>508954290 (OP)
I work in a grocery store, I would definetly follow dates on anything frozen, produce, dairy and meat. Most of the time the stockers, the final mile transportation company and delivery drivers ignore temperature safe guidelines allowing the food to grow bacteria before being put back in the safe zone.

you sure it wasnt on fermented horse milk
