Abstract

We developed a survey to collect information on consumers’ intentions to discard 15 food products when exposed to different date labels. Results show that the use of certain date labels has the capacity to reduce food waste, but the reductions would happen differentially across food groups. When we examine the nutritional implications, we find that a shift from the ‘Best by’ date label to the ‘Best if Used by’ date label would increase total household purchases of energy and lead to a disproportional increase in purchases of fats, cholesterol and protein.

日期标签、食物浪费和供应链影响

我们开展了一项调查，收集消费者在接触不同日期标签时丢弃15种食品的意向信息。结果表明，使用某些日期标签有能力减少食物浪费，但不同食物组的减少情况不同。当我们研究营养影响时，我们发现从“最佳使用日期”标签到“最佳使用时间”标签的转变会增加家庭能源的总购买量，并导致脂肪、胆固醇和蛋白质的购买量不成比例地增加。
