Food Expert Clarifies Expiration Dates
Food safety consultant Mai Tag Eldin stated that the expiration date of food products does not necessarily mean they become toxic; this depends on the type of product and storage conditions. She added that raw materials of unknown origin pose a problem because they prevent assessment of their safety and whether they are free from contaminants. Additionally, replacing cocoa with charcoal in food is considered food fraud because it is only used to give color and does not have the nutritional value of cocoa. She emphasized that the use of food additives is limited to a certain percentage, and that exceeding the expiration date does not always cause contamination or spoilage; it requires laboratory analysis to confirm this. However, safety cannot be guaranteed after the expiration date.
