Bill overview
The Food Date Labeling Act of 2025 aims to standardize how ‘quality’ and ‘discard’ dates are displayed on food packaging. It requires these dates to be clearly labeled with phrases like ‘Best If Used By’ or ‘Use By,’ and establishes uniform phrases for consistency. The bill also mandates consumer education about these dates and updates existing food safety laws to address labeling violations related to these date phrases.
