Food Labels: warranty differs from expiration date

In Germany, every year nearly 20 million tons of food are thrown into the trash because of the expiration date. Partly why a debate started about whether it would be better to simply indicate the warranty of certain foods on the packaging.

According to the report of InfoRádió; in Germany the majority of people simply throw the expired warranty food into the trasher. It is estimated that every second lettuce head and potatoes, every third loaf of bread is lost. Thus, each year nearly 20 million tons of food are being wasted, while a good number of them would be able to be consumed – reports penzcentrum.hu, after InfoRádió.
