The FoodKeeper can assist consumers in using food at its best and reducing waste. The listed storage times are intended to serve as useful guidelines and are not absolutes. There is a possibility that some foods will deteriorate more quickly and others will last longer than the recommended time.
The duration will vary based on the food’s nature, harvesting methods, manufacturing processes, transportation and distribution conditions, storage temperatures, and growing conditions. Keep in mind to purchase foods in manageable quantities and rotate the items in your freezer, refrigerator, and pantry.
In the United States, consumers are unsure of the food’s quality or safety, so billions of pounds of good food are wasted each year. About 44% of all food waste in the United States is generated by households. By reducing food waste through buying appropriate quantities, storing foods properly, cooking what is needed and composting, consumers can save money and reduce the amount of food going to landfills.
