"The use-by dates on meat sold in supermarkets are to be extended.
Bosses at the Food Standards Agency reviewing the shelf life of beef, lamb and pork are set to give the go-ahead for longer expiry dates before Christmas.
Chilled beef, including cuts sold in trays with plastic wrappings, are currently given ten-day use-by labels. But in future, this timeframe is expected to be raised to 21 days in the fridge, with pork and lamb having 15-day and 14-day deadlines respectively."
I wonder what is going to occur just after Christmas?
And what has happened to that 'gold standard pledge' to maintain the UK's food standards?
Could it be that new future trade deals might have influenced things a tad?
