A change in food labeling laws has taken place in California, aimed at reducing food waste and confusion. The state has banned "sell by" labels on food products.

This move is intended to clarify the meaning of date labels on food, which can be misinterpreted by consumers. For instance, a family in California has differing opinions on what a passed "sell by" date means for a jug of milk.

Further details on this development are available from the source, including the perspectives of a chef and cooking teacher in Irvine, California, who has experienced varying interpretations of "sell by" dates within her own household.
