Spotting Spoilage
While many items are safe past their labeled dates, visible mold, unpleasant smells, odd textures, or bad tastes are unmistakable signs of spoilage. Trusting your senses is often more reliable than relying on printed dates.
Preventing Waste Through Proper Storage
Minimizing food waste starts with correct storage. Keep your fridge below 40°F (4°C) and your freezer at 0°F (-18°C). Use airtight containers to protect food quality and extend its life.
In summary, food expiration dates offer a guideline for quality rather than a strict safety threshold. By understanding label meanings, properly storing food, and trusting our senses, we can reduce food waste while ensuring our meals are both delicious and safe. So, think twice before discarding that day-past-due condiment—it may still be perfectly good to enjoy
