USDA/FDA review food date labeling
USA
Dec 06, 2024
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) are announcing a joint Request for Information (RFI) about food date labeling, which includes the use of terms such as ‘Sell By,’ ‘Use By’ and ‘Best By’. The RFI seeks information on industry practices and preferences for date labeling, research results on consumer perceptions of date labeling and any impact date labeling may have on food waste and grocery costs. For example, questions in the RFI include which products contain date labels and the criteria to decide what phrase to use and what date to include. The RFI also asks questions about how consumers interpret date label information, including whether consumers are confused by this information – especially if they believe the dates determine whether food is safe when in fact, they indicate quality – or whether it has impacts on decisions made while grocery shopping or discarding food. Finally, there are questions that explore any relationship between date labels, food waste and household expenses.
