        Mainly just on the label. At a certain point their effectiveness may decrease slightly, but they dont go bad in any harmful way. Nor do they just stop working.

          A lot of Americans have been trained to only look at dates and throw everything out after. It creates a lot of unnecessary waste.

          I know people who throw out everything if it hits the date. Milk, eggs, yogurt, sour cream, canned goods. Food that’s still fine, but the magical date has been hit so they must buy more and feed the consumption machine.
