Targeting food waste through better sell-by dates

Researchers at Auburn University are addressing food waste by studying how meat spoils at the microbial level. If scientists develop a better method of predicting spoilage, meat packers could affix more accurate “best by” or “sell by” dates, leading to less thrown-out meat.
