Most food is labeled with a "Use By", "Best By" or "Sell By" date. These are quite different from "expired by" dates.....although I understand your concern. Let me try to address this issue. DCFC follows published guidelines from the Tarrant Area Food Bank (our primary local supplier) and Feeding America (national Food Banking organization). "Use By" indicates the last recommended day to consume a product for peak quality. "Best if Used By" indicates when a product will have the best flavor. "Sell By" indicates when a store has to pull the product from display. In all three cases food is still safe to consume after this date but use your best judgement. The only EXCEPTION is "Use by date" on Baby Food or Formula that are federally regulated and are not safe after date. Not enough space here to go into more details. We have posters at Food Center that explain. i.e. Dairy good 7-14 days beyond, cheese & butter 30 days, chips & crackers 6 mths, canned goods 5 years. Thanks....
I experienced the same thing. Over half the food was expired.
Be thankful your not the people that have to go get it out of the trash. Because they are so hungry.
