The law is set to take effect in July 2026, establishing a new standard for food labeling in California. It will require the use of “Best if Used By” label to signal peak quality and “Use By” label for product safety, an approach recommended by federal agencies. The law provides exemption for eggs, beer and other malt beverages.
So we’re going from “best by” for quality and “use by” for safety to “best if used by” for quality and “use by” for safety… Unless the law also spells out some magic way to predict when food will expire I’m not seeing the improvement.
Reads as if they’re requiring both markings now, meaning you can know when it’s optimal and when it’s no kidding, unsafe to eat.
Or that’s how I read it
People will still 100% ignore the use by date but at least they were informed.

You: let all the silly people die. It’ll work out in the end.

Amazing that you went immediately on a personal attack. Too bad.
