You can eat!
But be careful, you can't eat it after 30 to 50 years. Generally, after 3 to 5 days of taste appreciation, there is no problem. Next, Bozi will explain to you what is the "taste appreciation period" (please call me Dr. Bo).
What is the taste appreciation period?
The "taste appreciation period" on Japanese food packaging refers to the period to ensure delicious food. For example, chestnuts, the following are the taste appreciation periods of several paramita hot-selling products:
apricot
Kalebi cereal
AGF mixed bar cocoa Leo
Kalebi potato chips Japanese baseball limited edition
Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (equivalent to China's Ministry of Agriculture, whose jurisdiction includes food safety, stable food supply and other related industries) official website interprets "taste appreciation period" as:
Japanese "Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries" official website screenshot
The Chinese meaning of this passage is:
"Ham, sausage, snacks, canned food, etc. It can be stored in cold storage or room temperature for a long time, and the logo of taste appreciation period will be used.
The meaning of the logo is that in the unopened state, if it is preserved according to the officially designated preservation method, it can taste the best taste within the time limit. We should try our best to enjoy the food during the tasting period, but this does not mean that all the goods can't be eaten after the tasting period. "
Japanese honey juice can also be found in official website, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (the copy address is opened in the browser): http://www.maff.go.jp/j/fs/f _ label/f _ processed/limit.html. 。
The reason for this "taste appreciation period" is that consumers hope that food can still maintain the best color, fragrance and taste when eating. Exceeding the tasting period does not necessarily mean that the food has gone bad and cannot be eaten. After the taste appreciation period, the safety of food will not change basically in the short term, and it is still edible. Attention, it is short-term! As for how short it is ... there is no way to consider it, because factors such as food types and storage methods will affect the speed of food quality change.
Seeing this, everyone should be relieved. I, Bozi, am not fooling you. I always tell the truth! Yesterday, I also ate a pack of Kalebi potato chips, and the tasting period was 2. 14 Valentine's Day. It was still delicious, and I didn't feel any discomfort after that. But don't get me wrong, it's not advocating that everyone eat expired food.
How do Japanese deal with food that is about to expire?
Bozai specially interviewed a handsome and aggressive Japanese uncle:
Mizuno Bozhi, co-founder of paramita
Mizuno Jun said that there is an unwritten rule in Japanese supermarkets: once food is displayed for more than two-thirds of the "appreciation period", it must be removed from the shelves, returned or discarded. If the "taste appreciation period" is 3 months, it will be handled when it is 1 month short.
No food manufacturer in Japan dares to ignore this. Due to strict laws, the cost of corporate crime is very high. If you touch this bottom line, you will face severe punishment and even be on the verge of bankruptcy. "Two Prices" is a famous pastry enterprise in Japan. In 2006, its president, Rintaro Fujii, resigned because it was exposed that expired milk and eggs were used to make cream puffs.
How do Japanese citizens view the time limit for tasting? Bozai has a friend Yi Yi from China who has lived in Japan for ten years. Let's see what she says:
"For the food that has passed the' taste appreciation period', I will choose whether to eat it according to the type of food. Generally speaking, the taste of potato chips, chocolate, biscuits and other foods may change slightly just after the taste appreciation period, but at least I think it is ok. Of course, it is best to finish eating food before the taste appreciation period. "
Having said that, some honey sauces may ask, "Japan has a consumption period besides a taste appreciation period! What does this deadline represent? "
The "shelf life" is used to identify foods that cannot be stored for a long time and whose quality is easy to change, so as to ensure their safety. Because Japan strictly controls the use of preservatives, lunch, cooked food, fresh food and other foods are eaten for a short time, so the "edible period" is used. What needs to be emphasized here is that after the "edible period", you can't eat any more.
The puffed food, brewed beverage, candy chocolate and instant food sold by paramita are all foods that can be preserved for a long time, and the quality will not change in the short term, so the brand does not need to mark the "consumption period", but only the "taste appreciation period".
Well, today I explained the meaning of "taste appreciation period" and "consumption period", hoping to answer the questions in the hearts of honey lovers.
Finally, Bozi reminds everyone to store food according to the method mentioned on the package and try to eat it before the taste appreciation period. Delicious food is not discounted!
