Ignore those best before dates on most of the food you buy.
That's the bottom line from a new study by the National Zero Waste Council.
The council says don't toss that yogurt cup away because it's a few days past the best before date.
One of the author's of the report says most best-by labels are confusing and unnecessary.
Denise Phillipe adding they are part of the reason, Canadians are among the biggest food wasters in the world.
Phillipe adding with the exception of products such as eggs, best before dates refer to food quality, not safety and many products don't even need them.
