"Best Before" date on food labels no longer good enough under new CA law (youtube.com)
There are half a dozen different types of dates sometimes printed, so no one really is sure what the actual date they need to know is.
The law will standardize the language and meaning of what factories print. People currently throw out food that may still be fine, because they think maybe the date means it might be spoiled.
Will this idea catch on at the Federal level?
