Require an easily visible and readable sell by date on all perishable products

Created by C.G. on December 03, 2013

Although many perishable products already include an easy to find and read sell by / use by date on the packaging, there are many, many others that do not. Some are either extremely difficult to find, and either in tiny print or in a color that is difficult to read, or else use a special code that is impossible to decipher. This would require that all packaged perishable product have an easily readable sell by / use by date that is as equally easy to find. The date should be standard across the board as such: MM/DD/YY

Let's put consumers' minds at ease and make retail rotation and outdate procedures simpler by enacting this into law.
