Why does if feel like best by and expiration dates for objectively shelf stable foods keeps getting shorter and shorter? I have a hoard of instant ramen I bought less than a year ago that's already "expiring" next month.

I bought pickled cucumbers and according to google they last 6 months in the fridge when opened, but is this true? I mean it’s a brine. Pickled onion also lasts 4-7 days according to google

It's a farce. I ate some Sriracha hot sauce that was supposedly four years expired; I suffered no ill effects. Maybe the food companies are trying to increase waste and therefore boost sales?

its a bunch of bullshit trying to get you to sell more shit. As long as you keep things cool, dry and limit air exposure most foods will last for long after the best by/sell by dates.

Also a lot of the "DON'T KEEP X IN THE FRIDGE" shit is designed to make your shit spoil faster. There are a few things that can pick up or give off odors and a few things that will have changes of texture but a lot of that stuff can be refrigerated and it will make it last longer.

I've got a tomato sauce bottle (ketchup) in the fridge that is over ten years old, the colour has gone a dark deep red (like a red wine) and the flavour has intensified significantly.

The expiration date is the expiration of the container, not the food, at least for things like salt and preserved food. After that date it's no longer guaranteed that the container will be airtight and not leak chemicals into the food.

Veg is the real sin though. I swear I used to be able to buy fresh veg and use them up to a week later. Nowadays I have to use them the next day or they start to rot.

I went to open some pork butt I bought 3 days ago with a sell by date of about a week from now. The meat had gone green on the side and was clearly bad. Im pretty salty I should have noticed this when I bought it. No way a butt roast went bad in the fridge after 3 days.

it's cause so much shit gets kept in storage so it's available year round
>>19651325
wouldn't surprise me if the store either had a fridge failure and they decided not to chuck the shit because it was within a 4 hour window or some bullshit. possible that a retarded staff member found it on a shelf and just put it back in the fridge even though god knows how long it wasn't refrigerated

Maybe im just annoyed since it throws off my planned meals for the week since I was gonna use it for sandwitches as well later. And im upset with myself since had I looked closer I probably would had noticed it. And im done 10 bucks as salt in the wounds.

>its a bunch of bullshit trying to get you to sell more shit.
i think most particular consoomers know this but the grift is directed at stores who can't keep "expired" stuff on shelves and have to re-stock. In a lot of places products past its expiration date cannot even be donated , it can't be sold at a discount and not even a hobo is allowed to get it for free. Greedy fucks really don't leave any gaps

its for liability reasons. if they said it lasts four years then you ate it and gotten sick, they are liable to pay for your medical fees and lost income. its a no brainer to say it expires way before the reap expiration date.

It's to make you throw away your food so you'll buy more, and it's to make sure you can't sue them for getting sick if you actually do eat something expired and it happens to have gone bad.

Mmk pal. The jews cut their babies penis heads off and then a rabbi sucks on them til the wound closes, that is pretty gross. Also wasn't there that case of the rabbi raping a little jewish boy in front of his parents in the secret synagogue sex dungeon? I have seen jews complaining about the corrupt Israeli government as well.

killing fifth columnists is a based thing. Imagine if white people cared for each other enough to kill the race traitors and anti-white mayos before they subvert society against them.

What jews do is what every ethnicity does just in a more compact and organized fashion, only ones who work against themselves are wypipo

Most foods don't have "expiration dates"; they have "best by" dates. The confusion stems entirely from dumb people putting no thought into terminology.
