Toronto’s Anaerobic
Digesters
► Hydropulpers mix food waste with water
and remove contaminants (plastic residue
from bags, diapers etc)
► Anaerobic process (without oxygen) creates
minimal odours and the high temperatures
kill bacteria
► Owned by the City and operates within City
limits

Canada’s Food Date Labelling System
Manufacturers give their products conservative Best Before Dates to uphold a perception of quality
1There are no government regulations about food date labels in Canada, Manufacturers are responsible for determining dates
2Consumers perceive Best Before Dates as Expiry Dates, assuming food is unsafe to consume when the date is near or passed

What is a Best
Before Date?
► Best Before dates are given
to the product by the
Manufacturer
► Represent an estimate ( a
guess) of when the food is
still at peak quality or
freshness.
► The BBD is not a food safety
indicator,
► It is not the same as an
expiry date

Improving Food
Literacy
► Best Before Dates started
gaining momentum in food
retail in the 1970s– what did we
do before?
► Building our own food literacy,
how might we know if food is
good or safe to eat?
► Proper food storage and
handling

Take Home Messages:
1. Use Your Eyes and Nose to
help determine if food is safe:
look for tears, rips, signs of
infestation, water damage, bad
smell, discolouration or
molding;
2. Be sure to always store
food properly: reduce the
growth of microbes
