Calbee to extend potato chips best-before use date by 2 months

Calbee has accredited its products’ prolonged shelf life to improvements in the manufacturing process and the cooking oil used in frying potato chips

Is that a nice way to say there's more preservatives and chemicals in it??

No, Calbee does not use preservatives or other chemicals in its products.

Blending ratios differ by manufacturer, but basically three types of rice oil, palm oil or palm olein oil are used for potato chips.

These oil blending technologies create a balance between degradation prevention and flavor.

I don’t think they really did anything to the current recipe or production. I think they just dated the best before date 2 months later.

Best Before and Expiry Date

It means the food is best when u eat before the best before date.

It still can be edible After it's Best Before Date until Expiry Date but food won't be that best, maybe, but ok taste

Expiry Date - time to throw but some people still eat it depending upon the smell and looks.

So will Calbee also be fined for mislabeling it's foods, similar to how McDonalds was recently. Since by changing the best by date, you are saying that the old date was nothing more than a lie.

If this can be done, arbitrarily. it suggests that there is no oversight of Food Labeling in Japan.

(Its akin to the Self-Certification of Air-Worthiness of a Boeing 747 Max).

No wonder other Countries are concerned about certain foods possibly coming from the Fukushima area.
