New measures in France

France has launched what seem to be two assaults on food issues. One is to revise the nutritional labeling and move toward an A-E rating system or close to that. The other is to reduce how much food is discarded - gaspillage in French - by changing the dates on packages. They will remove some entirely from some dry goods and others will either make clearer or just have the date limite de consommation - the last date on which you should eat the stuff, as opposed to "best used" - optimale in French - which tends to be unnecessarily short.
