Do you care if your food is fresh or that your food is cheap? Well one UK business man might have the answer. To some the ‘best before’ date means nothing if you could save some money. RT’s Polly Boiko has more.

throwing away food should have the same punishment as destroying currency
or perhaps even counterfeiting, since both acts lead to an overall decline
in average overall public wealth. yes, food ownership is a form of wealth.

I hear in UK dog food is a delicatessen and cat food is served in holidays
and special occasions.

Does the UK permit cereal manufacturers to add BHT to the packaging “to
preserve freshness”?

That fat ass sorry ass fatherfucker is stealing food from the PEOPLE that
really need it.(I would LOVE to take a RATCHET BAR to that FAT
FATHERFUCKING SCUM OF THE EARTH!!)
99% OF THE TIME that food is DONATED TO CHARITY!

This kind of food was never “fresh” in the first place.
I have yet to come across rotten dried pasta or a tuna can.

I am thinking that perishable foods just past their expiration dates, like
meat and fish, could be processed on site or by collection vehicles with
dehydration and/or cooking (microwave?) and then sold at a much reduced
price.
Not every outlet can cook these foods and sell them at the site so
collection vehicles would be necessary.
These foods could be given to the hungry and/or homeless people.

Leave it up to the FINANCIAL WEALTHY to steal our ingenuity to make bad
food taste GREAT! TO SELL IT TO THE OTHER FAT SORRY ASS COCKSUCKERS

Third world country thanks to those immigrants

Fascinating, while corporations and rich pay less or none of the taxes,
ordinary citizens have to save on expired food.
April 26, 2015 @ 11:51 am
good idea, less wasting

Canned food doesn’t go off anyway. there were cans found in the arctic from
expeditions 80 odd years old and it was still edible. Manufacturers like to
date things so people will throw it out and buy more. Just use common
sense.

Stop TTIP in Europe and boycott all US and Canadians goods.

We have a chain called Not Quite Right in Australia. And a lot of it’s like
this. They actually write the useby dates on the price tags on the shelf. I
am getting stuff like canned drinks out of date only a month, pay 25 cents
for 500ml can of energy drink (monster) as opposed to $3.50+ in the shops.
I am currently going thru up&go that has 2 weeks left. Sometimes its a new
flavor they bought out that got little interest, and there is big
packs/tins of stuff, some of which has A YEAR LEFT. I just got thru a 2kg
(4.4lbs) tin of dolmades which took days to get thru. Started on a similar
sized tinned spaghetti.

genius

Boil the milk it might be just as good, freeze the meat/bread it’s still
consumable and cereals? If that ever rottens it’d take a good couple of
years if ever.
Rice and spaghetti grow from the ground so while treated again, it won’t
necessarily expire.

Thr free market solves a problem yet again.

I think the whole planet should commit suicide together,we’d be far better
off.it’s far easier to die than live.

Only banksters, politicians and their masters can afford fresh food in the
UK.
April 26, 2015 @ 3:18 pm
So that’s how the expired Russian pigs stay in business.
April 26, 2015 @ 3:23 pm
To be honest, canned and hermetically sealed non-refrigerated food ~6
months out of date will be perfectly fine. You can go even up to two years
past its date and still eat it without poisoning yourself, but it will not
have a good taste.

this is actually not uncommon in some countries in Asia. some supermarkets
or convenience stores sell bentos and food just before expiration date for
cheaper price.
