Some grocery products have no expiry dates

- The Ear -
July 4, 2011 | 12:00am

NO EXPIRY DATES. A housewife said she has found out that many grocery products do not have expiry dates. On some labels are printed "Best before" but there is no date. The housewife, a Fil-American, told The Ear she has written to some of the food/grocery manufacturers about the missing expiration dates but she has received no response.

NOT THE FIRST. This is not the first time The Ear has received a complaint about the absence of expiry dates on some food products. "Dunay ‘Best Before’ pero wa’y petsa," one city resident once reported, even taking the trouble of sending us the labels she detached from the products.
