26 Aug 2022 --- A study by The Agri-food Analytics Lab (AAL) of Dalhousie University, Canada, reveals that the majority of Canadians oppose eliminating best-before dates on food products to reduce food waste because of food safety contradictions in Canada. According to Innova Market Insights, nearly 25% of Canadian consumers claim they never consume a product if it is past the expiration date. This type of consumer behavior contributes greatly to the food waste crisis, which leads to unnecessary packaging production and directly impacts carbon emissions.
