Many corporations are realizing that “enjoy by”, “sell buy”, or “best-before” labels on foods are not legitimate, they are just from the manufacture that are gauging when their food will be the tastiest. You can eat most of these food items up to a few weeks after their due by dates. People throwing away lots of food due to abiding by this date, are tremendously adding to the massive food waste our world has today.

I think this Cue Bump Mark industry sticker is worth it, yeah it’ll increase the cost by a little bit but its worth it if it’ll help lower food waste. I know I am guilty of throwing food out if it is past the date; this new sticker would help me to know when it would actually be expired.
