Expiry dates are a scam and a racket, encouraged by manufacturers to increase production by scaring people into believing that harm will befall them should they consume a so-called expired product. Myriads of products are perfectly safe well beyond their expiry dates. This applies not only to tinned, canned or bottled products, but also to medicines, some of which are extremely expensive.

The laws pertaining to this should be revised.
