REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodHow does knowing the difference between use by, sell by, and best by dates empower you to make better decisions?
Sherri Ramos 4/18/2019 10:19 AMWhile I don't simply go by the 'use by' date to determine if food is good/bad, having more information on these dates will help cut down on food waste going forward.
