more than 500 bottles of counterfeit wine were crushed at an austin, texas, recycling center. it was a final chapter of a 2-year-old fraud case involving a man convicted of making cheap wine, then putting expensive labels on the bottles. the glass will be repurposed and the wine will become compost. >> okay. a consumer alert about a major recall of a popular brand of tea. sweet leaf is recalling 1.5 million bottles of tea. fragments of glass could be in those bottles. the recall covers six flavors of tea sold in 16-ounce bottles. the tea should be returned to stores for a refund. >> americans toss more than 160 billion dollars worth of food every year, thanks mostly to the expiration dates on those products. >> here's the thing.

truly bad? abc's mara schiavocampo explains. it's an argument that goes on in a lot of households in america. >> reporter: see this jug of milk? mika wants to toss it. >> this is three days past. >> reporter: but her boyfriend matt peterson says not so fast. >> no. smells good. >> reporter: so goes a common argument for this couple about food expiration dates. matt often ignores the dates on food relying instead on a sniff test or a taste test. >> it's disgusting. >> reporter: but she believes not sticking to the package date could make her sick. >> there's usually a little bit of a debate and i'll be guarding the garbage pail while she tries to get past me. >> i'll throw it away when he's not around basically. >> reporter: turns out they're not alone. in one study of attitudes towards expiration dates, 47% of women check the dates compared to just 41% of men.

more cautious when it comes to taking risks with expired food because women are the managers of the family. >> reporter: there are common labels on everything from milk to eggs to canned goods. words like best by, use by, enjoy by and sell by. but what do they actually mean? >> they don't mean anything. >> reporter: that's right. consumer reports dr. michael hansen says these are not expiration dates. >> what most people think it means is that the food is bad after that date. it could be hazardous. >> reporter: thanks in part to this confusion, an estimated $160 billion worth of food goes to waste every year. remember, the dates are often set by the manufacturer to indicate when food is at its best. defining when it's really good, not when it's gone bad. mara schiavocampo, abc news, new good stuff. thank you so much.

washington has been finding out. >> reporter: it's a hi-tech outlet for teenage expression. a hot new app called after school. being used by millions of high schoolers across the country to anonymously express their feelings. but this morning, many are wondering if the app is a safe space for sharing or a danger zone for anonymous threats. here's how it works. someone creates a message board for an entire school where students can comment or post images. to gain access, the app which is free verifies through facebook that a student in fact goes to that school and lets them post without using their names. no parents or adults are allowed. >> no adults are allowed to be there at all breaks one of my first rules for parents which is you should be where s are online. >> reporter: tenth grader tucker ellison says he sees more negative posts than positive. >> everything's anonymous. they almost feel welcome to post inappropriate content. >> reporter: his mom sarah
