We don't even have expiry dates on fruit and vegetables where I live, unless they're frozen or canned. Everyone learns to inspect fresh produce to ensure it's ripe and not too old. It's more reliable honestly since every piece ages differently depending on the weather, season, the store you got it from, etc.
Yep, this.
I don't think I've ever seen a best before date on produce, come to think of it.. except for pre-packaged salads - and even then, the only use in buying the package with the farthest date out is that it'll likely give you a little longer to consume it before it starts to spoil. It's almost always still good for days after that date - depending on how it's stored etc.
People just have to learn how to tell if a fruit or veg is ripe and fit to eat, or if it's spoiled. Touch, smell, taste etc - use your senses + common sense.
