Food Date Labeling Act of 2025

Summary

The bill tells food makers to use the standard phrases “BEST If Used By” (or BB) for quality dates and “USE By” (or UB) for discard dates, and to place them prominently on packaging. It applies to all foods except infant formula and preempts states from imposing different labeling rules. The Departments of Health and Human Services and Agriculture will write the detailed regulations and run a consumer‑education campaign.
