We also took a look an additional site that talks about Food Product Dating. This website talked about if "Food Dating" is required by law and other things such as safety after date has expired. It also talked about the different kinds of "dating". There are sell by, Best if Used by, Use By, and Closed or Coded Dates.
An additional website we looked at in regards to how much food Americans waste each year was rather interesting. We found out that about 14% of all trash is food! That is just about the same percent at metals, leather, and rubber combined! It is said that Americans generate about 30% of all the worlds garbage. This website also talked about how to properly dispose of your food scraps in order to better the country. We also found out that Americans throw away around 25 million tons of food each year.
