Companies Commit To Simplify Food-Date Labels Worldwide By 2020
This announcement expands national efforts to streamline food-date labels in the US, UK and Japan to the rest of the world.
The Consumer Goods Forum (CGF), a network of 400 of the biggest consumer-goods companies across 70 countries, has approved a move to standardise food-date labels worldwide by 2020.
Companies including Tesco, Kellogg's, Walmart, Campbell's Soup, Bimbo, Pick n Pay, Nestlé, Carrefour and Unilever have agreed that retailers and producers should take steps to simplify labels on food products, which would help to reduce food waste.
This includes displaying only one label at a time, with a choice of two labels: one expiration date for perishable items (e.g. 'use by') and one food-quality indicator for non-perishable items (e.g. 'best if used by'). The group is also recommending consumer education, to better explain what these date labels mean.
