Relative to food date labeling.

This California Assembly Joint Resolution urges the President and Congress to pass the federal Food Date Labeling Act of 2023, which aims to reduce food waste by standardizing date labels on food products. The bill is intended to help consumers better understand when food is safe to eat, thereby preventing the disposal of usable items due to label confusion. While the resolution itself does not change California law, it formally requests that the federal government adopt a uniform labeling system to align with state goals and industry efforts. The measure highlights that clearer labels could save billions of dollars annually and significantly decrease the amount of food sent to landfills.
