description This study compares the differences in expiration date regulations between China and international organizations/regions including the Codex Alimentarius Commission, EU, United States, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, as well as research progress on post-opening use-by periods for edible vegetable oils. The findings reveal that international standards predominantly mandate the labeling of “Use-by date” to ensure food safety and quality, whereas China’s current standards enforce “shelf life” (best-before date) as compulsory labeling while designating “consumption period” (use-by date) as a recommended labeling element. The study indicates that for typical three-member households in China, the consumption cycle of 5 L packaged cooking oil exceeds one month. For small-packaged oils, the peroxide value exceeds the regulatory limit within 15~90 days after opening. The research proposes that China should incorporate consumption period labeling requirements in subsequent revisions of edible oil standards.
