It’s no surprise that many of today’s grocery shoppers look at the back of packages for product information and the all-important expiration date. Nobody wants to eat spoiled food, right? Those dates are also handy when you’ve already purchased the items, they’ve been sitting in the fridge and you can’t quite recall when you bought them. Being able to verify “best used by” and expiration dates helps eliminate the possibility of ingesting spoiled food and getting sick.
There are also those instances where the expiration date on the milk, for example, is still two weeks away, but the smell after pouring it into your cereal tells you it’s gone bad. What if there was a better way?
