Is the food in the fridge still good? California wants to end the guessing game
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California wants to help end the everyday household debate over whether the food in the fridge is still good to eat. Food labels that say “sell by” or “best before” are misleading because they have no universal meaning under current laws. Now California wants to crack down on such practices, bidding to help consumers stop playing guessing games with produce and other items in their fridges. The state is the first to ban food labels such as “sell by” or “best before” under a law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom. The legislation signed by Newsom over the weekend aims at reducing both food waste and the state’s climate-warming emissions. There are more than 50 different date labels on packaged food sold in stores, but the information is largely unregulated and does not relate to food safety. “Sell by” dates, for example, often act as a guide for stores to pull products from the shelf and not as an indicator of whether the product is still safe to consume.
San Jose veterans home operator dumped over poor conditions

Kirk Ave. is home to dozens of veterans that have lived with black mildew, fire hazards and unsafe electrical systems, among other problems — issues that have been going on for years. Santa Clara County purchased it last year and promised to turn it around. Homeless Veterans Emergency Housing Facility, a nonprofit led by CEO Irvin Goodwin, provided case management and meals to veterans at the site, but the veterans lived in squalor. Two months ago the Veterans Administration, which had been been funding a majority of the programs, said it would not renew its contract with the nonprofit, and the contract expired on Monday.
