Summary
How concerned should you be about expiration dates stamped on items you buy from the grocery store?
Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and fact-checker, comedian, and podcast host David C. Smalley break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions.
Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/646
On This Week's Skeptical Sunday, We Discuss:- What really determines the expiration date that gets stamped on an item from the grocery store?
- Is there a difference between "sell by," "buy by," and "use before" expiration warnings?
- What federal regulations dictate expiration dates for the protection of the consumer?
- How dangerous is it to ignore an expiration date on something like a gallon of milk, and what variables might change this?
- Why most cases of food poisoning have very little to do with the lackadaisical observance of expiration dates, and how you should really be gauging if something is still fit for consumption.
- And much more!
