Visiting gardensBWould you eat a six-month-old yogurt？ This is a question you may have asked if you read the recent story about a US grocer and his year-long experiment eating expired food It started in October 2022， when Scott Nash， founder of the Mom's Organic Market chain of grocery stores， wanted to make a smoothie 果昔 He likes his smoothie with yogurt As he was at his holiday cabin in Virginia， though， the only pot he had to hand was one he had left behind on his last trip there by accident， six months earlier He opened it No bad smell He decided to take the risk and dumped the yogurt in the smoothie "I drank and waited，" he wrote on his blog And nothing happened The first thing to point out is that Nash is based in the US， where regulations on food dating differ significantly from those in the UK While British foods carry just one date - either "use by" or "best before" - Nash was faced with "quality guarantee period， use by， best by， sell by， best if used by " He sells food for a living， and even he doesn't understand the system Clearly， this lack of clarity has influence on both the health of the environment and the health of the nation What you don't eat， you'll end up throwing it away， even if you could have safely eaten it； and what you don't know not to eat could make you sick A report from the Natural Resources Defense Council and Harvard Law School in 2022 said that 40% of American food goes uneaten each year， and the confusing effect of the US date labeling system is in large part to blame4.
