- Description
A man holds a beer can and tells his wife that the label says 'Best before WWII'; his wife replies that it's only a guide'. Context - It has been estimated that New Zealanders needlessly throw away $750 million worth of food a year. That's around $450 worth of food per household. In Australia, the figure is even higher at NZ$815 for each household. This is all about confusion over the real meaning of 'best before' and 'use by' dates on food items. 'Best before' means quality may deteriorate after the date but the food is still safe and 'use by' means the food may be unsafe to eat . (Business Scoop 25 April)
