We hear you – Let’s clear up the confusion around food date labels

Our 2023 Consumer Insights Tracker (CIT) survey found up to a third of Australian and New Zealand consumers are unclear about the meaning of date marks. This misunderstanding can lead to an increased risk of foodborne illnesses and undermine confidence in food safety.

Whether you’re a consumer making safe choices, a food supplier determining product shelf life, a retailer managing stock, or a food service provider preparing meals, understanding date marks is essential.
