Food Labeling Laws

David explains how inconsistent food labeling laws are across different states in the US, with only a few having laws on labeling meat, poultry, eggs, and shellfish. He also discusses how manufacturers are allowed to choose the sell-by date, resulting in tons of food waste. Montana has a strict law that milk cannot be sold or donated after 12 days past the pasteurization date, despite science saying it's good for 21-22 days. The need for federal regulation on food labeling is emphasized.
