Food Waste Avoidance 1 - Use-By VS Best Before

Know your "Use By" and "Best Before"

   from FoodWise.

Food spoilage


Food spoilage is an undesirable change occurring in food due to of air, heat, light, moisture and/or insects, which foster the growth of microbes. Food can be classified as:
  • Perishable  e.g. Meat, milk, fruits, some vegies
  • Semi-perishable  e.g. Eggs, onions, potatoes, carrot
  • Non-perishable  e.g. Cereals, pulses, nuts
These classifications influence the appropriate storage for different foods.

Packaged foods with a shelf life under 2 years must have a ‘Use by’ or ‘Best before’ date stamped on the packaging.

Use By means that the foods must be eaten or thrown away by the date, whereas Best Before means foods are still safe to eat after the date as long as they are not damaged, deteriorated or perished.

The Bose Soundbar 700 Won't Connect to App

Bose has one of the best speaker sound. I learnt about Bose more than 25 years ago and still a fan.  I bought Soundbar 700 in 2018.  It took me a while to set it up but it has been giving me troubles once a while.  Recently, I was not able to connect Soundbar 700 with my phone.  Done the factory reset on the soundbar, it didn't work. I spent hours reseting everything multiple times and finally I found this article,  https://www.bose.com.au/en_au/support/articles/HC1380/productCodes/bose_soundbar_700/article.html .  Tweaking them all and finally got it to work again. I think the most important setting is to TURN WPS OFF on the router!  Hope it helps.
