临期产品真香，长期吃临期产品会损害健康吗？

2019年联合国世界粮农组织做过一次针对临近过期食品的消费调查，通过跟踪分析西班牙一家知名零售商的销售数据，发现超过三分之二的顾客偏向于选择临期打折食品。

在2020年对中国消费者的调查中，有超过4成受访消费者表示愿意购买并向身边的人推荐临期食品。

In the survey of Chinese consumers in 2020, more than 40% of the respondents said they would like to buy and recommend food close to the shelf life to people around them.

对此，有人点赞称这是理性消费，还杜绝浪费，但也有网友则担心，长期吃临期食品会有害健康。

Some people praise that this is rational consumption, but also put an end to waste，but others worry that eating foods nearing it's expiration date for a long time will be  harmful to health.

那么，临期食品是什么呢？

临期食品是指即将到达食品保质期，但仍在保质期内的食品。

It refers to the food that is about to reach it's sell-by date, but still within that date.

2012年国家市场监督管理总局发文明确要求，食品经营者对即将过期的食品应向消费者做出醒目提示，需告知顾客并单独出售。

同年，北京市工商局发布了“食品保质期临界”的6级标准，标准如下：

临期食品这么便宜，吃了会影响健康吗？

专家表示，食品保质期并不是食品变坏的时间。“保质期”的概念是“在保质期内，商家保证食品的风味口感符合产品的描述”。

Experts say the expiration date is not the time when food goes bad. The concept of "expiration date" is that "during the expiration date, the merchant guarantees the flavor and taste of the food as described".

保质期快到来的那一段时间，并不意味着食物不能食用或安全性下降，如果愿意购买，在食用时不必有心理障碍（可以放心吃）。

---

Approaching the expiration date does not mean that the food is not edible or safe, if willing to buy, do not have to have psychological barriers when eating.

在欧美、日本等地区，临期食品正常售卖早已成为常态。

例如丹麦的剩食超市WeFood、德国超市The Good Food，都是专门打折出售各种临期食品的专卖店，同时也不乏各种能吃但是品相没那么好的蔬菜、水果等生鲜食物。

For example, WeFood, a leftover supermarket in Denmark, and The Good Food, a supermarket in Germany, are specialized in selling all kinds of foods approaching the shelf life at a discount. At the same time, there are also many kinds of fresh foods such as vegetables and fruits that can be eaten but do not look so good.

一般情况下，食品的保质期要比真正发生变质的时间短，只要储存方式正确，保质期内基本没有安全风险，食品的状态、风味正常就可以食用。

---

In general, the shelf life of food is shorter than the real time of deterioration. As long as the storage method is correct, there is basically no safety risk in the shelf life, and the state and flavor of food are normal, it can be eaten.

临期食品仍在保质期内可放心购买和食用；购买临期食品应按需购买，不要囤积，以免过期变质造成浪费；购买的临期食品最好在保质期内吃完。

---

The food is still within the shelf life can be assured to buy and eat; buy the food should be purchased according to the need, do not hoard, so as not to expire deterioration caused by waste; it's best to eat up the food you buy in the shelf life.
