Dates limits of use and optimal consumption (DLUO and DLC)

In Canada, optimal user -use and consumption dates are important indications to guarantee the quality and safety of food products. It is crucial to understand the meaning of these dates to ensure safe consumption and avoid food waste.

  1. Deadline for consumption (DLC): The DLC is a compulsory indication of very perishable food products, such as meat, fish, fresh dairy products, etc. It indicates the date to which the product is supposed to be consumed to guarantee its maximum freshness and food security. After this date, the quality of the product can be altered, and it can become dangerous for health.

  2. Minimum durability date (DDM): The DDM, also called expiration date or deadline for optimal use (DLUO), concerns food products which retain their taste and nutritional qualities beyond this date. They are generally safe to consume after this date, but their quality can be slightly altered.

It is essential to respect these indications to guarantee healthy consumption and avoid health risks.

Anti-Gaspi program:

We are deeply engaged in the fight against food waste. Our anti-GASPI program aims to reduce waste by offering food products whose optimal consumption date is exceeded at reduced prices.

Here is how our anti-Gaspi program works:

  1. Products at reduced prices: We offer a selection of food products whose DLC is exceeded, but which remain sure to consume. These products are offered at reduced prices, which allows consumers to save money while helping to reduce food waste.

  2. Transparent information: Optimal user -use and consumption dates are clearly indicated in the titles of each product displayed on our site. We provide transparent information on the DLC and the quality of the products offered as part of our anti-GASPI program. Our customers are fully informed about the nature of the products and can make informed decisions according to their preferences and their needs.

  3. Environmental commitment: By reducing food waste, we help preserve the environment by limiting food waste and reducing the carbon footprint associated with the production, transport and elimination of wasted food.

By participating in our anti-waste program, you can not only make savings, but also contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future.
