WTF? How is this not regulated? It feels like one of the very first things you'd stick some regulation on…
- s1artibartfast 2y agoWhy?
- jjk166 2y agoIt's regulated on products where it matters. For many foodstuffs though, they don't really become unsafe, at least not on reasonable timescales. You probably don't want to drink a soda you found from 1996 but even if you did it would probably just be flat and maybe taste a little funky.
