Expiration can be associated with death.
Expiration is the action and effect of expiring . The term comes from the Latin exspiratio . The verb expire, in turn, refers to the end of life or the end of a period of time . For example: “Before the expiration, the old man looked out the window and smiled” , “Don't forget to consume this product before its expiration date” , “Those who want to submit their candidatures should hurry as there are only two days left until the expiration of the period provided for by the electoral Justice."
Expiration, therefore, can be used as a synonym for death or death : “The expiration occurred due to lung failure that was aggravated due to a generalized infection,” “I am not afraid of expiration, I am concerned about the entire previous process with the debacle.” physical” , “At a certain age, you can't help but feel that your expiration is approaching” .
Expiration date
According to another of its meanings, expiration can act as a synonym for expiration or term . In this sense, foods have an expiration date or expiration date : “Matías decomposed because he drank milk when it had already passed its expiration date,” “The expiration of this type of food is evident because mold forms on its surface.” ” . Various contests and calls also establish an expiration that represents the deadline to present a work or candidacy: “The Book Society reported that the expiration date to present the writings will be next Thursday.”
Regarding the expiration date of food products, it is public knowledge that in most cases it is the day on which it is estimated that it will no longer have an attractive appearance for the market , instead of representing the at which point it will no longer be in good condition.
Gastronomic companies have the obligation to indicate the expiration date of their products , but this also benefits them, since in the event that one of their foods actually decomposes on the indicated day, they will not have to be responsible for the harm it may cause to anyone who consumes it without heeding the warning. Some products, such as sliced bread (also called lactal ) have a special tendency to form mold in times of high heat and humidity, while during cold and dry months they are preserved for longer.
There are many people who rely on their own experience and popular wisdom to examine food and decide if it is safe to eat, regardless of its expiration date. Furthermore, given that no restaurant can offer "expired" food, when a product reaches its expiration date it is removed and left in the garbage containers, and many homeless people come to take advantage of it, generally without negative consequences for their body.
The expiration of a food occurs when it is no longer suitable for consumption or has lost its original organoleptic characteristics.

Expiration and expiration
It is worth mentioning that the concept of expiration is often confused with that of expiration , especially in written language, given their great similarity. However, their meanings differ considerably; Expiration is one of the phenomena that takes place during the breathing process , and consists of eliminating the carbon dioxide present in the lungs through the air outlet.
However, it is curious that its etymological origin includes spirare , a Latin word that is associated with breathing and life. If we study some alternative expressions to expire to talk about death, we find, for example, " passing on to a better life" and " taking the last breath." And in the latter there is a curious connection with the concept of breathing and a notable orthographic similarity with the aforementioned Latin term.
