Clearer food labelling plan 'to bring an end to waste'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13111033
Quote:
"Best before" date labels could be scrapped in an attempt to cut the £680 worth of food thrown away by the average UK household each year.
New government guidance to shops aims to put more focus on "use by" dates on items such as prawns and yoghurt which have a definite shelf life.
The initiative follows consultation with manufacturers and retailers.
It will also target "sell by" and "display until" labels which it is thought add to consumers' confusion.

Seems like a good idea..but as someone who likes sorting through the sell by date sale shelf for reduced bargains to put in the freezer I think I may lose out.
