The majority of Americans don’t what “sell by” labels tell them. After 40 years, the grocery industry is clearing up the confusion. On Wednesday, the Food Marketing Institute and the Grocery Manufacturers Association, the two largest trade groups for the grocery industry, announced that they’ve adopted standardized, voluntary regulations to clear up what product date labels mean. Where manufacturers now use any of 10 separate label phrases, ranging from “expires on” to “better if used by,” they’ll now be encouraged to use only two: “Use By” and “Best if Used By.” “Use By” indicates when perishable foods are no longer good. “Best if Used By” is a guess of when the manufacturer thinks the product should be consumed for peak flavor.
