年轻人正在丢弃更多的食物, 因为混淆了“最好之前”和“使用”标签。 Young adults are throwing away more food due to confusion over "best before" and "use by" labels. 最近的一项调查发现,43%的人经常仅仅根据日期丢弃食物,而2016年的这一比例为37%。 A recent survey found that 43% of people often discard food based solely on dates, up from 37% in 2016. 专家说,虽然“使用日期”是安全性的,“最好之前”标签是质量性的,鼓励依赖视觉、嗅觉和品味来评估新鲜食品。 Experts say that while "use by" dates are about safety, "best before" labels are about quality and encourage relying on sight, smell, and taste to assess food freshness.
