This bill establishes uniform requirements for voluntarily declared quality and discard date phrases on food packaging. It defines a quality date phrase as one indicating when a product's quality may begin to deteriorate while remaining wholesome, and a discard date phrase as one signifying the end of a product's estimated shelf life, after which it should not be consumed. If a quality date is used, it must be preceded by the uniform phrase " BEST If Used By ," and if a discard date is used, it must be preceded by " USE By ." These dates must be displayed in a clear, easy-to-read calendar format (month/year or month/day/year) in a conspicuous location. Abbreviations like "BB" or "UB" are only allowed if the packaging is too small for the full phrase, and manufacturers may add "or freeze by" to either phrase. While the decision to include a date label remains voluntary for manufacturers, any such labels must adhere to these federal standards. The legislation preempts state requirements that differ from these uniform date phrase standards or prohibit the sale or donation of food based solely on a quality date. However, it explicitly allows states to prohibit the sale or donation of foods based on the passage of a discard date. The Secretaries of Agriculture and Health and Human Services are directed to provide consumer education on these date phrases and to issue final regulations within two years of the Act's enactment. Non-compliance with these labeling requirements will render a food product misbranded. The Act, which does not apply to infant formula, will take effect for food products labeled two years after its enactment.
