Good to know
- 📌 Food past the sell-by date is often still safe to eat within the use-by date if stored properly.
- ❄️ Freezing only stops bacteria; quality keeps dropping. Past the recommended freezer time, taste and texture suffer.
- 🌡️ Fridge must stay 0–4℃ and freezer below -18℃ for the listed times to hold.
※ These are reference estimates under recommended conditions. Discard anything with off color, smell, mold, or texture regardless of dates.
