Food Use-By Dates
There are reports that food use-by dates are to be changed to cut food waste.
I am a coeliac and am possibly lactose intolerant. For this reason I’ve changed to goat’s milk.
One of the benefits compared to cow’s milk, is that a one litre bottle, lasts a full three weeks and never goes off, which is a great help, as I live by myself. I’ve a little bit left in the current bottle, but the use by date is April 12th.
So I’m healthier and save money!

Use-by dates are a funny thing. I consider them a “guideline” and eat most things which are a couple of days over, and I ignore it completely on tinned and frozen foods. But I know people who bin it on the actual day os the use by date.
We very very rarely throw any food away, apart from things like banana skins, because we dont overshop!
