This statistic shows the results of a survey on the influence of the expiration date on the eating behavior in Sweden in 2009 and 2015. Over the years, the share of respondents not influenced by the expiration date decreased. 22 percent of the respondents in 2009, but 28 percent in 2015 disagreed to care about not eating food whose use-by date has expired.
How much do you agree with the statement: "I take care not to eat anything whose use-by date has expired"?
The original question was phrased by the source as follows: "Hur väl instämmer du i följande påstående: Jag är noggrann med att inte äta något vars bäst före-datum har gått ut."
