California Approves Landmark Law to Eliminate “Sell By” Dates on Food Products

Starting July 1, 2026, food products in California will no longer carry a “sell by” stamp, following the approval of a groundbreaking law by Governor Gavin Newsom. Known as Assembly Bill 660, the law mandates the use of standardized terms for date labeling, with “best if used by” indicating quality and “use by” indicating safety.

Newsom believes that this law will enhance consumer awareness and significantly reduce food waste. The move aims to keep more food out of landfills, thereby reducing methane emissions.

This initiative, backed by environmental organizations, is designed to streamline date labeling practices and minimize confusion among consumers. Assemblywoman Jacqui Irwin, the bill’s author, emphasized the importance of clarity in date labeling to prevent unnecessary food waste.

The law allows for voluntary date labeling on certain perishable products, provided the labels are accurate. It also permits food donation after the “best if used by” date has passed, promoting sustainability and reducing food waste.

Californians Against Waste and the Natural Resources Defense Council, who co-sponsored the bill, are optimistic that this legislation will lead to a more efficient and environmentally friendly approach to food labeling and consumption.

The implementation of standardized date labeling practices is expected to reduce food waste, save consumers money, and contribute to environmental conservation efforts. By aligning date labeling terminology across all products, California aims to set a precedent for other states to follow.

With this progressive law in place, California is taking a significant step towards a more sustainable and efficient food industry, setting a positive example for the rest of the country.
