I have rarely eaten food that has gone past the expiry date. The Korean authorities say that the expiry date printed on the package of food is the date when the distribution of food should be restricted. It is not the date that we should eat it by the date. However, almost all Korean people regard the data as the eat-by date and avoid eating such food that passed the expiry date. When I buy food, produce or dairy products, I always check the expiry date and choose products that have a long expiry date. Once I buy them, I try to eat them before the expiry date. But there are some cases that I do not consume all of them by the expiry date. If they passed just one or two days, I eat them, otherwise I dispose them because it’s better to be safe than sorry. But my mother is not mindful of the date because she does not waste the food. With regard to the quality of tap water, I believe that tap water is safe to drink because the Seoul government inspects it and share the results regularily.

Hi Sir [이름]!
You are right, we should always check the expiration date.

As you mentioned below, it is better to be safe than sorry.

We know that it is not good to waste food but we have to especially when we are concerned about our health.

Good thing that the tap water in Korea is safe to drink.

There are few places in the world nowadays that we can say that their tap water is safe to drink.

Talk to you soon.
