Many poor people who would benefit from this still good food just thrown away destined for the tip. Would certainly be very nice to see this rule changed.

I usually forget to check expiration dates, but my daughters always point it out when I've picked up something close to its expiration date. Or god forbid, expired! :) Very informative post.

I usually check the expiration date on all my foods (especially canned goods) but I had no idea that it wasn't illegal to sell "past it's prime" baby formula! That's outrageous! Excellent post!

Got home and check, and the bagels expired JUNE 23rd ! ! I had to go all the way back to the store. ugh. Great post btw :) I usually look at every expiration date when buying food of any kind, however, I was in a rush and forgot to check my Bagel purchase as Walmart just the other day.
