Why ban such dates? I would want this data if I am a consumer. Sure the food may not be expired yet, but it may go bad sooner. I don’t understand why California feels the need to continuously pass hundreds of bills and impose so much control.


> Why ban such dates?

They're not being banned. The wording must change to "best if used by" if it's not about food safety.
