Holiday Season at the Calgary Food Bank
The holiday season is here at the Calgary Food Bank! We’re open and ready to safely serve the increased numbers of clients that need us at this time of year.
Best before, not bad after
Many of us have done it: Find an unopened box of pasta at the back of the pantry, see that it’s past its best before date, and throw it in the trash or compost to be safe. But is that really necessary? “Best before” and other food labelling terms can cause confusion, and many are surprised to learn that best before dates are simply a guideline, not a rule set in stone.
