Sentra ,
I can understand your points and , having been the victim of food poisoning twice myself I can also see the logic in your arguments.
Where I live the laws also require food to be discarded once the "use by" / "best by" date passes but I have seen these dates on sugar and salt too which suggests to me the legislation is more than a little off the mark on this one.
Frank's point , as I am reading it , applies to perfectly good food being "date expired" on Monday and discarded Monday might when it could be just as safely be taken to a food kitchen or where ever for immediate consumption on the Tuesday with no danger whatsoever.
Just my perspective on it all.
Pete.
