The EU Commission presented today to the experts of the Member States a proposal to revise the rules on the expiry date of foods, with the addition of the words 'Often good beyond' as well as 'best before' on the label.
The change is contained in the draft of the delegated act on which Brussels is working, which ANSA has read.
According to the EU Executive, the addition is appropriate to reduce food waste, because it allows "a better understanding of the expiry date", influencing "the decision-making process of consumers regarding the opportunity to consume or eliminate a food".
