Not all food decay is driven by pathogens. We’d still need expiration dates for chemical degradation etc.
- Gibbon1 5y agoOne of my personal working theories is oxidized fats are bad for you long term.
- _Microft 5y agoThe choice of best-before dates does not only depend on actual spoiling of goods but are also chosen to include factors like how a product looks or if the texture is still "acceptable". That is a product can still be perfectly edible at that point but the date was chosen because e.g. chocolate does no longer look good after that time.
