Scientists designed color-changing carbon dot biosensors that can detect spoiled meat in sealed packages in real-time, just in case you don’t trust the sniff-test.

    That date means nothing. It’s a best by date, not an expiration date. It’s just the last date you can get a refund if it goes bad.

    But I’ve had a gallon of milk last a whole month after the best by date.

      Yeah, the date on the package means even less if you freeze it. Frozen meat is good for years.

      (Freeze your ground beef, freeze your bread. Throwing away food is expensive!)

        Yes, and freeze sauces, soups, and stews in ice cube trays and then into freezer bags for easy portioning later. This was life changing advice for me.
