2025 - Freecycle and similar Free stuff

The "problem" with the tinned and jarred food is that its past its use by date. Lots of people take these dates as gospel. When midnight arrives, the food turns to poison and nobody in their right mind would risk eating it. Fortunately, there's nothing right about mine.
The cause of the "problem" is partly the manufacturer
- the dates tell the stores which batch of tins should be sold first - but they don't explain that to the consumer. the consumer just chucks out them out!

I think it's the same as sell by dates and use by dates, It's just to save the companies getting a law suit against them for food poisoning and also making the buyers throw them out and go and buy another batch.
