Word on the street

Do you pay attention to expiration dates on food items?

“Yes, because if you don’t pay attention to the dates you can get really sick from expired foods.”

Adam Kostanecki

supply chain management junior

“No, I am very naive when it comes to expiration dates on foods. The grocery store shouldn’t sell foods that go bad a week after you buy it.”

Cherilyn Scholtz

German and economics senior

“No, I don’t really pay attention. There have been foods in my refrigerator that have expired, and I didn’t find out they were until after I ate them.”

Marcus Graham

accounting junior

“I usually look at the expiration dates before I purchase the items at the store. I look for the foods that expire at the latest date.”

Sweety Bhavsar

premedical freshman

“Yes, I especially check the dates on stuff like dairy products. I pay more attention to expiration dates now because last year I had chunks of mold in my dorm room refrigerator from old milk and ice cream sandwiches.”

Joel Kerwin

no-preference sophomore

“I always check the expiration dates before I eat foods because I don’t always keep track of how long things have been in my refrigerator. It’s also a waste of money to buy items and later find you can’t consume them because they aren’t fresh.”

Emma Sally

premedical sophomore
