Detailed explanation-1: -Food quality detectable by our senses can be divided into three main categories: appearance factors, textural factors, and flavor factors. Appearance factors include such things as size, shape, wholeness, different form of damage, gloss, transparency, color, and consistency.
Detailed explanation-2: -There’s no blanket process for setting expiration dates. Instead, food manufacturers and retailers determine these dates as they see fit. They may take many factors into consideration. They’ll think about the characteristics of the particular food as well as its packaging.
Detailed explanation-3: -To reduce consumer confusion and wasted food, FSIS recommends that food manufacturers and retailers that apply product dating use a “Best if Used By” date. Research shows that this phrase conveys to consumers that the product will be of best quality if used by the calendar date shown.
