- Food Expiry Dates Are Not What You Think | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Expiry dates on food products are often seen as the end all, be all. But health experts say something entirely else. Are expiry dates really expiry dates? And who gets to decide what that date will be?

I always eat food that are many years expired.
I'm still alive and healthy at my age of 70 . No cancer , just seasonal rhinitis every couple of years
Wow I usually throw away any food that has expired. And I check the expiring date of everything when shopping. The expiration date ussually determines my purchase of any can goods.
Growing up in Bombay in late 50s, we had no refrigerator, we never even heard of expiry date, everything was fresh on top of all we were lucky to have food, today's snacking was luxury only for upper class. We are happy that we survived without expiry date concept.
It’s a total waste culture nowadays, not only in food,
but also in textiles, electronics, furniture, household items, water, energy etc.
I’m German and I haven’t had a refrigerator for the past 14 years. It’s just a matter of timing so that perishable stuff doesn’t get rotten.
Eggs for instance are good for 3 or 4 weeks without refrigeration. Yoghurt is good for many days after expiration date if unopened, etc.
- Just a few examples of where to save/economize.
Sadly many people have lost appreciation for things and resources they think are granted and will be abundant forever, especially those people who hadn’t gone through any existential hardship.
I have never thrown packaged food just because it is a few days or couple of weeks beyond the "best before", or "expiry" marked on the package. I have not been any the worse for that. As this video says, by marking shorter expiry dates, the manufacturers sell more products.
They also have to be careful of someone suing them if someone gets sick and decides to sue company
Companies also contribute to wastage by forcing the consumer to buy larger quantities. Smaller quantities are not sold or you have to pay more for lesser quantities. I often only use half the packet and the remaining becomes unusable.
The funny part is that some of these companies advise consumers to "please don't waste your food" in their ads.😂😂😂
As a person who works in the retail food market, we have had numerous hundreds of power blackouts that have led to the tossing of thousands of products that are still good and could be donated but as per policy the items must be destroyed in order to benefit from insurance and to stop potential lawsuits. The amount we throw out every year just in our stores that never gets eaten would blow peoples minds.
😔
Convert it to energy to avoid blackouts.
The Solid oxide fuel cell powered by natural gas is a solution to end blackouts, in homes and business. Create electricity at source.
Well it helps dumpster divers.
What an eye opening video it needs greater exposure in the community , my mother always insisted throw out unopened unused if it hit expired date , my daughter in law says tinned food-dry food last indefinitely if kept sealed , it was volume of wasted food that stunned me , great video 👍🙏
In India, expiry dates are governed by rules & guidelines ( under the FSSAI ). interestingly there is an expiry date on 1) ghee.
2) seeds.
the same FSSAI
3) allows mixing 2% UREA in milk !
4) compels adding milk solids ( mainly imported ) to packaged milk.
5) compels honey to be heated.
6) allows MSG i.e. monosodium glutamate to be added to foods , despite it being proven carcinogenic in some studies.
Dude MSG is Fda approved , there are no conclusive evidence of it causing cancer so don't spread fake data.
Great topic Palki Sharmaji.
There is lot to said about food wastage and habits. Most vacuum packaged foods are good months after the stated date. Once opened they need to be consumed within short period.
Pickles - last years. So also wine. Uncooked Rice - many prefer aged compared to recent.
Fresh vegetables, milk & milk products are the ones that must be consumed before the dates.
Supermarkets put special prices or discount prices on 6 to 3 months left for expirations goods. Like dry noodles, chocolates, oats, canned goods, flavored bottle drinks, nuts and cookies. I always get the chocolates and put them in my ref. I used it when I baked muffins or pancakes.
I've always treated "EXPIRY DATE" & "BEST BY DATE" as separate entities in that "BEST BY" means that it probably won't taste as nice as it would've a few days ago (yeah, a no brainer, I know), whereas "USE BY" means it may be better off as chook food.
In a recent shopping expedition a noticed a trolley full of bread buns behind the ship counter that the supermarket was going to toss out because they'd "expired", but more than likely there was nothing wrong with them. Except they'd "expired".
You opened Our Eyes All Over..Dear Palki about Expiry Dates
Criminal Wastage of Food in Todays Inflation Recession times
as also Manufacturers BEST Before..can be consumed even after E.D unless change in odour colour smell chsnges. .
If there was a quick and effective way to transfer food which is still good and just about to expire to the poor, hungry and needy it would considerably solve the world food crisis
100 years ago no expiry date still people are healthy. Let us use three sensors given by God which are Eyes, Nose and Tongue… let us not waste food…
I've always thought about the expiry date on packaged food. I keep wondering, what if they mixed the numbers or typed it wrong. I eat 'expired' food until it looks and smells absolutely unfit for consumption. If I can't figure it out with either of these, then a very small bite helps.
heat and eat
Foods with expiry dates are consumable after 2-3 days of dates. It's not they are fully spoilt, it's the freshness. As long it does not smell and look bad, some foods are consumable.
Look at pharmaceutical products too, There is a significant change the way they mark expiry dates. They dont last longer anymore because they want us to buy more frequently.
I don't know about ALL foods.
But.
Few foods and Most Medicines should not be consumed after expiry date.
A Renal syndrome called Fanconi like syndrome can occur.
If you are paying for it. Then just buy less. Only buy what you need
in ancient india 'daan' system ensured not throwing of food but Western psych mocks it as begging. Its sad to see we moved away from culture of not throwing away food and clothes but giving it to needy.
In India the tray with indentation for different food is a solution for a balanced diet. Sarah in South India, my food forest on Utube, grows great food in a small area. She is a vegan and eats raw food. By eating 60% of food raw a good balance of water is provided. The water in plant cells is energised, it is a good source of water. Thank you, enjoy our beautiful ocean planet, all of the plants that exist on land evolved from the Ocean.
Palki has done a similar video when she was with WION. The title was on best before dates.
She must have taken lot of WION content with her.😂
Videos with such content have no *expiry date* !👶
For a healthy life it is advisable by doctors and nutritionists to eat fresh grown, raw food, directly produced from farmers and avoid factory made food, dairy & nonveg that contains chemicals to keep the food fresh and cholesterol, harmones, steroids respectively, to weaken our immunity.
Can somebody explain,that why the articles shows that usa wastes around only 19 million tonnes of food rather than 80 million tonnes of food and that china wastes around 91.6 million tonnes of food??
As a physician, I have seen many people getting food poisoning just because they ate too old food... it is sometimes astonishing how so many people don't even look at the expiry date of the things they eat.... So, I don't think the problem is the expire date on products, rather it is the inability of people to properly cook and understand WHAT HEALTHY AND FRESH FOOD is and prepare it. Good food is freshly made and consumed immediately after preparing. But the demand for fresh food is not so high as for packed, highly elaborated and canned food....
Hey...i wanna ask you sonething...why do i feel like going to toilet after every meal..im serious
@SB Tig this is just a response/reflex of your body. When little puppies are trained in regard to responding to the call of nature, they are set on a toilet (dog toilet with sand) just after they are given food, until they do what they have to do to relive themselves. It is done after eating because the reflex is strong and they most probably are going to relive themselves. So nothing wrong with you body. Simply answer the call of nature when it calls 😉
Should this be too much of a problem and cause you suffering, go to a doctor and have a check up...
When poison expires, does it become more poisonous or less poisonous? What do experts got to say abt this?
It could become an *antidote* !🙊😜
The food wastage numbers in absolute numbers is misleading because it does not take in to consideration the amount of people living in the country. A per capita food wastage number is more interesting and in that most Asian countries would be very low while the western countries that use processed food would be much higher.
For people willing to listen the internet is teaching us that regardless of location we are one.
The level of waste has more to do with the adoption of ready to eat food as opposed to regional culture. As children of parents who lived through the US great depression of the 1930s my generation was taught to respect food. The generations that followed us not so much. However focusing on food waste seems righteous but is generally a fool's errand. We feel good by not wasting but our saved food is not reaching the people who need it. There is a surplus of food in the world. The problem is conflict, violence, and corruption. These result in poverty which results in hunger and starvation.
In the US about 1/2 of all waste happens in factories, transportation, and offered for sale but not purchased by consumers.
In my experience, precisely on printed expiry date, the grated carrots I once purchased from a mall went squishy and smelly. They had timed it.
In south africa we have bb (best before). Alot of can cooldrinks go cheaper when its close to the bb date. It still has gas and tastes the same. But i wont take that chance with dairy and other perishables goods
A proper shelf life study is conducted before deciding the expiry/best before date.
In India we don't care about expiry dates, our nose is the best detector.
A lot of food rather than going to rubbish bins can be used for generating fertilisers and gas. Specially in big societies. There has to be separate bins which muncipal corporations can collect and use for fertilisers rather landfill. Same for public eating places, school/college canteens, restaurants and hotels.
Has anyone noticed before, during and after the Covid, how the eggs expiry date changed in Costco.
I got alarmed, when I noticed it back then ..
Palli Sharma u r doing nice job God bless u
They got thier numbers wrong about India...still 50% Don't have fridge to store for long time....i would like to know how they got these numbers
packed biscuits in humid rainy areas expire in less than 3 months but its usually written good for six months. storage conditions also matter
I think the stats of food waste will be better as 'per capita wastage' instead of just food waste per country per year
I always check the expiry, dairy milk is sometimes in unusual smell if you go for the raw milk that is not pauscharised and that gives you bovine tuberculosis with gram positive and gram negative bacteria.
Tabasco is aged 3 years in salt preservation for being rot in acetic acid preservation till expiry date...
Before the Wolrd Faces food shortage in the coming Years. The Countries around the World should take following actions
1. Stop production of more food
2. Analyse how much food is Sold to the reatil markets or restaurants
3. Analyse how much food is wasted
4. Foods like Vegetables, Dairy Products and many more should be given in permissible limits based on number of people currently living inside home
5. Food given should be in limit which can be consumed for a week not more than that
6. There should be easy tracking of food which is going to expire in 3 or 5 days and should be delivered to the nearest food banks
7. Food banks should examine which is good quality food that can be served to homeless people and poor people who are dying of hunger
8. Food banks should work as NGO and should give food without costs
The funniest part is seeing an expiry date on salt
Sugar, spices and bottled water too.
Moreover, i guess everything depends on freshness of food ,if date is been expired but it's still tasting good ,its still has the crunch everything is good we can consume ,if it's isnt tasting good then there is no need to eat ,also it depends on type of foods ,if drinks are. Expired its better not to use ,but foods such as wafers ,made up of refined floor dry snacks if they are tasting can be eaten if they haven't crossed many days after packing .
Moreover items such as honey,ghee ,pulses ,wheat ,dal this never get expires ,this food products dont have any expiry .
Products such as sauce,mynoase,preservatives drinks ,bread ,milk items should be consumed before date.
Chocolates (candies)dont have expiry .
Other Chocolates may have .
Best thing is to STOP BUYING any food from packets except necessary items like raw wholegrains like raw rice or wheat flour.
The is the only solution.
This is India. Indian LAW BODIES ARE INCAPABLE OF IMPLEMENTING THEIR OWN REGULATIONS. So the consumer itself should STOP BUYING FOOD IN PACKETS
I always thought Expiry date is atleast one month earlier than actual Expiry date so that it won't turn bad before the written date.
‘Tortured tomatoes’ … 😙😄 Ma’am has such a cool sense of humour…
And that Harry Potter analogy.. oooohhh fabulous!!!! ^^
Ooohh lord! Seeing all that food being tossed away.. ohhh it hurt.
Should give per capita food wastage figures. Then India will probably go way down in the rankings.
The old societal set up of sharing excess food with needy people has broken down due to westernization, urbanization and isolation of haves and have-nots. Even if people in high rises wish to share with poor people going hungry, they can't do it now due to difficulties in access.
Packaged foods are not good to human health even if it's a few days old. It's convenience more than being healthy. Preservatives are chemicals that suppress organic degradation but that too is not good. Ideal or best food: Eaten fresh within hours or 2-3 days after it's plucked (fruits & veggies) or within 2-3 hours (cooked food). Ayurveda is a great treasure but most Indians (and the World) will go by what the reasearch in US or Europe (West) say. Ayurveda teachings are the future.
Don't eat expired food. Itbis not worth the risk.
They will just make another story apologizing for this.
There are Products very hard to search expiry date or something somewhere written this product is best within six , twelve etc months from date
of manufacturing .
One of news Channel shown how expiry dates are erase and fresh date is mentioned.
Excellent journalism
Storage conditions also matter.
Very true. I consume even after expiry date, few days up and down is fine.
People who sell food should understand what they are selling. Putting a sell by date on food just makes it easy for anyone to sell food. Our bodies are food bodies and need the best food to keep us well, healthy and wise
Still, farmers are not getting proper price. Wastage done by people with more money. To get correct price for farmers, more food to be wasted. I love the way it goes.
the bread packet shows an expiry date (best before or use by). but if we keep that bread packet in fridge, then the bread lasts much longer.
i never throw away food😋
What a shame. I don't waste ANY food. I also don't pay attention to the expiration date, unless it has gone bad, I will eat it.
🗿☠️
How will you smell cold drink or bread or sauces ?
Just today I was cleaning the kitchen and I found too many expired products it filled an entire big sized shopping bag
Most of it more than 6 months post expiry date
So should I keep and use it or throw it?
What to do someone please advice??
Madam you should also think about hunger index
Good content! Thank you!
That's why they now use best before instead of expired, which means it's not unfit for consumption, but not of its best quality
Introduce tax included in the bill for wasting food , in case of restaurants . For homes introduce methods where it can be recycled as compost , to have compost pit for every road . So it can be used as manure .
How many Potter heads and Palki fans❤
Why such news r rotating at present? Ans: may b experts r readying people for food shortages in the recent future ..
Can we say the same for cosmetics also
Real cheese ages if your frige works right real cheese is better 4 mo past due date in this area of US. A lot of canned food is.... taste n sniff before tossing. Fresh meat... I only eat bison a couple times a year. Fresh veg is what can get tricky depending on where you live... however you live. Point is to be sure the food really is bad before tossing. Many blessings of compassion and inner peace.
Expiring Date is a guideline fir best used by date. Ideally customer - end user should try to use it before The Date Printed. No one can predict Exact Expiring Date.
Being a child in business family this is no news to me
I ate rice spaghetti tuna beyond their expiry day and all were good..... but I ones saw full cow milk beyond expiry date it had chunks big chunks like yoghurt not drinkable
Global Awareness drive Condemn Expired food products sold in shops. Join our Campaign includes Peace , Health and Climate Action.
I keep bread in refrigerator and eat it even after 7 days of expiry date.
I have seen food going bad, smell awful even before expiry date. And i have seen food in good condition even after expiry date.
I am too more concerned about the wastage of food
I am sad that this time the calculation was not done on per american, per indian or per brit but rather on a whole country basis where population differs in each country
Its simple. Just divide the wasted food by the population of the country and you'll get the amount wasted per individual.
India have Sri Chaitanya and narayana hostels. That's the only reason why India is on top!!
As long as food taste reasonably ok, it’s perfectly safe to eat past its expiry date. Your taste bud will tell if something is totally beyond eating (rancid, fermented etc) 🤮 Of course food will mostly taste better if eaten within the expiry date, fresher sure.
I wish people would take these into consideration before throwing away food that is still edible but been brainwashed (by social pressure) into thinking they’ll get sick, simple common sense out of the door. Throwing away edible food is unholy when there are starving people around the world.
We need to make food source and consumption hyper local.
First Vantage I watched which was non-political
What is the expiry time of cowpiss?
i would love to know how much gets tossed at store before it reaches the customer?
Other than that:
I wouldn't complain if we had to return milk glass bottle back to store to save plastic,
or compost our own organic materials.
Even Salt package has expiry date - does honey expire?
The homeless people mostly take expired food and they have not expired after eating it though their quality of life can certainly be termed as abysmal .
That is terrible. We are responsible for wasting food. There will be a bitter harvest of hunger.
The comparison should be per number of people ; or per area. US and India are big countries so these numbers are misleading if not compared with our countries based on population etc
इससे अच्छा तो आप पैकेज्ड फूड में प्रिजर्वेटिव की मात्रा के नियमन और उसकी आड़ असर का वीडियो बनाइए क्योंकि देश में सभी मल्टी नेशनल कम्पनी प्रिजर्वेटिव लिमिट से कई गुना अधिक मात्रा में मिलाकर बेचते हैं उसे उजागर कीजिए
Expiry Dates should be classified into Temple Expiry dates and Church Expiry dates and Gift Expiry dates this process would go a long way in management of food waste
What about expiry dates on medicines ?
Ita a nostalgia to listen to your voice, and see your face now as it appears once in a blue moon... 😂
Good covering about tomatoes..👍
I love to see Palki when she talks ❤ ❤❤She really did melt me .
Lo❤e you #Palki
abe chutiye simp
We waste 68 mn tonnes of food per year and there are people who haven't got a meal to eat😢
Funny, how can we expect quality from a processed and packaged food?
It is not food, but chemicals.
Thank you, the plastic content of food should be displayed on label, as it does pose a health risk.
Good
I throw away lots of food due to it not being in good condition. Example is: bananas look good when I buy them but go bad very quickly at home so I end up throwing them in trash. Apples when I buy them looked good when I eat them they taste like junk so I junk them. Many other products are thrown out for similar reasons.
But in Indian culture wasting food is a religious sin so childern are taught that food wasteage in sin towards huminity.
Children could be taught how to grow food, Conscious Kitchen in US teaches children how to grow food and cook it, they eat fresh delicious organic food, this is how all children could live on our beautiful ocean planet.
Thank you, good wishes to the children and adults in India and all the countries in the world as we evolve.
Please tell me how the food wastage is measure. 😮
If you calculate on per capita basis for USA it is 0.25 tons/person and for India it is only 0.04tons/person..so USA wastes about 6 times more than India😮
I have stopped eating anything out of a packet except while grains that come packaged
Good story by Palki.
How about pharma..?
Most foods last 1.5 times longer than the expiry dates.
And drugs.
Proof?
How logical is that?
How you'll tell the actual expiry let's assume printed is 8 aug
Now tell me
@@DickOwner from the date of purchase. For example bread purchased on Aug 1st expiry Aug 8 can easily be used till Aug 12. Keep it in the fridge, coud last till Aug 20th!
@@shreeveda I'm not in court to give proof. And I don't need to prove it to anyone let alone you, I've observed that from experience 🙄
It is a money grab!! You can cook and eat expired food as long as its not rotten!!
Make a video on expiry medication
