What is stopping big retailers from donating their food rather than throwing it away?

“Best before” and “Expires on” aren’t the same thing though. “Best before” on biscuits doesn’t mean much. But don’t you dare drink milk after it’s “Expires on” date. I’ve made that mistake by accident. 

I thought it was best by on milk, too. I've drank it a few days after that date before and it was fine. Definitely wouldn't risk a full week after, though. Lol. 

Just checked the milk in my fridge and it’s only says a date and nothing else. Opening to interpretation lol. Try at your own risk.
