今天Costco买的包心牛肉馅，怎么办呢？

[飘在加国]

说得天花乱坠，变了颜色的肉我是不会买。

颜色只是一方面，气味才是关键。基础高中化学不能丢啊。

这是怎么回事情，他们的肉都这样？当天的包装，里外颜色不一样？

我感觉是他们换了标签。

先变色，后出味道。

颜色不对不买。所以，我不知道臭肉的味道。

Best before != Expiry dates

Best before dates guarantee freshness

Date Labelling on Pre-packaged Foods
Information about dates on pre-packaged food is a valuable source of information for consumers.

A basic understanding of what terms are used can help you to better understand these labels.

Durable Life

• "Durable life" means the anticipated amount of time that an unopened food product, when stored under appropriate conditions, will retain its
  • freshness,
  • taste,
  • nutritional value, or
  • any other qualities claimed by the manufacturer.
• A "best-before" date, also known as a "durable life date", tells you when this durable life period ends.
• This information is usually found on the label with the words "best before" and "meilleur avant."
• "Best before" dates do not guarantee product safety. However, they do give you information about the freshness and potential shelf-life of the unopened foods you are buying.

"Best before" Date

• "Best before" dates and proper storage instructions (if they differ from normal room temperature) must appear on pre-packaged foods that will keep fresh for 90 days or less, and are packaged at a place other than the retail store from which they are sold.
• Retail-packed foods that have a durable life date of 90 days or less must be labelled with
  • the packaging date (known as "packaged on" date); and
  • the durable life* of the food on the label or on a poster next to the food

* durable life can be expressed several ways, for example, the number of days a product will retain its freshness or may be applied as a "best before" date.

Expiration Date

• Expiration dates must be used on the following products:
  • formulated liquid diets (a nutritionally complete diet for persons using oral or tube feeding methods)
  • foods represented for use in a very low-energy diet (foods sold only by a pharmacist and only with a written order from a physician)
  • meal replacements (a formulated food that, by itself, can replace one or more daily meals)
  • nutritional supplements (a food sold or represented as a supplement to a diet that may be inadequate in energy and essential nutrients)
  • human milk substitutes (infant formula)
• After the expiry date, the food may not have the same nutrient content declared on the label.
• Food should not be eaten if the expiration date has passed. They should be discarded.

"Use by" Date

• The Food and Drug Regulations state the terms "use by" and "employez avant" may replace "best before" for pre-packaged fresh yeast only.
• It must be presented in the same form and manner as the "best before" date.

"Best before" dates on products with a shelf life greater than 90 days

• Foods with an anticipated shelf life greater than 90 days are not required to be labelled with a "best before" date or storage information. If manufacturers and retailers choose to provide customers with this information, they must follow the required manner of declaration, as described below.

How a "best before" date is shown on a label

• The "best before" date must be identified using the words "best before" and "meilleur avant" grouped together with the date, unless a clear explanation of the significance of the "best before" date appears elsewhere on the label.
• The "best before" date may appear anywhere on the package.
• If it is placed on the bottom, this has to be indicated elsewhere on the label.
• The month must be in both official languages or indicated by using specified bilingual symbols.
• The year is optional, unless it is needed for the sake of clarity (for example, if the shelf life extends into a new calendar year).
• If included, the year must appear first, followed by the month, then the day.

  Eating food that has passed the "best before" date
  • You can buy and eat foods after the "best before" date has passed. However, when this date has passed, the food may lose some of its freshness and flavour, or its texture may have changed. Some of its nutritional value, such as vitamin C content, may also be lost.
  • Remember that "best before" dates are not indicators of food safety, neither before nor after the date. They apply to unopened products only. Once opened, the shelf life of a food may change.
  • never use your nose, eyes or taste buds to judge the safety of food. You cannot tell if a food may cause foodborne illness by its look, smell or taste. And remember: "If in doubt, throw it out!"
  • Foods that are likely to spoil should be properly stored, and they should be eaten as quickly as possible. Harmful micro-organisms that lead to foodborne illness can grow in foods, even if they do not appear to be spoiled

Best before != Expiry dates

这是基本常识。我想我知道。

你去其他店看看，从包装到best before只有一天？

Costco大多数meat/bakery东西写的best before都很短。
白则为，在老不老买的包装好的肉糜颜色比Costco的内部变色的几率大很多。

Super store，Loeb等都这样, 这里说的是shelf life，一天或者当天的基本是减价的商品，但是就算再新鲜的肉也不会很长。
