Japan’s Food Complaints On The Rise
![]() Recently we have heard a number of incidents regarding customer complaints within the Japanese food market. Japanese consumers are finding insects in their noodles, plastic in their Chicken McNuggets and needles in their bread.

Food Product Dating ![]() The United States has no federal law or uniform system requiring dating on food products with the one exception being baby formula. It is up to each manufacturer to decide how to date their products. For consumers, this means figuring out what the dates on their food means and it can be tricky. The variety of use-by or sell-by dates can lead to food being thrown away well before it goes bad, and understanding the difference between an expiration date and use-by date is a crucial part of making informed food decisions.
So how can consumers use these dates? While it’s important to be careful when cooking with or consuming foods that may be past their prime, understanding that the dates stamped on labels have more to do with highest possible quality than safety and can help consumers to make informed food choices. With proper storage and handling, including refrigeration when called for, food is still usable and delicious well past the dates on packaging. Latest News On The West Coast Port Slowdown! Negotiators for the Pacific Maritime Association and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union has reached a tentative agreement on the chassis maintenance and repair issue that has been the major roadblock to reaching a new waterfront contract at West Coast ports. |
