Taste testing to dispel the myth of date labels
|This past Fall, students in the Alleviating Food Waste class (Mktg 471) were given food that was past their date labels. They then upcycled this food and conducted taste testing sessions at the Fredericksburg Food Co-op. The purpose was to dispel the myth that is date labels, for most (vast majority) date labels are nothing more than perceived freshness and intended to get consumers to buy more by throwing things out. The more you know.
