Did you read what they are replacing it with? I.e., "best if used by" (indicating the time the item is at its best quality), "best if frozen by", and "use by" (indicating when the food is and isn't safe to eat). Because those seem much more clear and useful to me than the useless "sell by" date.

"Sell by" is instead replaced with clearer, more standardized wording. Please at least read the (very short) article before posting.

#5I'm curious why food producers didn't do this on their own, since no one likes "sell by" anyway? Or was there an existing regulation that got changed?
In any case I think the new way is better.

The explanation is in the subtitle. Didn't even have to read the article on this one.

I wonder how many they've added in 5 years. Do all these laws improve peoples lives?

#8It’s be pretty cool if they figured out their water problem instead of passing all these nebulous laws that don’t push the needle any.

To be fair, it's a bad title.
We should be able to skim the headlines and get an accurate impression of the news items of the moment.
This headline seems intentionally misleading. It should have been clear to the publisher that it would be interpreted this way. Intentionally inflammatory clickbait titles poison the information ecosystem.
(That being said - yes, commenting on something you have not read does as well!)

Regulations aren't fungible, so this is not a particularly meaningful perspective.
