CollingwoodToday received the following letter to the editor from reader Peggy Hutchison in response to our story INSIDE THE VILLAGE: Why it's time for food producers to scrap 'best before' dates.
I agree on scrapping "best before" dates.
This evening I finished some classic hummus in my fridge with an April 19, 2023, BB date. A visual check for mould or a tiny taste or sniff will help determine edibility.
Keep the "prepared on" date, so the customer can determine whether to purchase it.
