Upstate Niagara Cooperative in Buffalo, NY is launching a chocolate-flavored dairy beverage that they are calling Crave. Crave is supposedly “shelf-stable” and comes in an aluminum bottle. They also claim that it also “provides superior taste”. I think it’s safe to say that most consumers are conscious of sell-by dates for perishable products such as […]
