At the moment I can buy fresh bread and know roughly when is the last day it will be edible(depends on type, brand etc). If I have no idea when it was produced, I could easily end up having to throw it away once I opened it and before being able to use any of it. More waste and yet more cost. The same goes for other products. It may seem to be ok at the time of purchase, but you will have no idea of how long it will remain edible for, 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks or 2 hours?
