Refrigerator & Freezer Storage Checklist
Below you'll find tips for keeping foods safe, and checklists for recommended storage times for foods to keep them safe from spoilage or becoming harmful.
Since product dates aren’t a guide for safe use of a product, consult this checklist and follow these tips. These short but safe time limits will help keep refrigerated
food 40° F (4° C) from spoiling or becoming dangerous.
- Purchase the product before "sell-by" or expiration dates.
- Follow handling recommendations on product.
- Keep meat and poultry in its package until just before using.
- If freezing meat and poultry in its original package longer than 2 months, overwrap these packages with airtight heavy-duty foil, plastic wrap, or freezer
paper, or place the package inside a plastic bag.
- Because freezing 0° F (-18° C) keeps food safe indefinitely, the recommended storage times on these checklists are for quality only.
