At one time or another everyone has wondered if the box of crackers or can of soup in their pantry is still good, especially if it’s been there so long you don’t remember buying it!
Though most packaged goods contain a “best by” date, non-packaged items like produce, bulk items and homemade treats don’t. So how do you figure it out?
StillTasty is an awesome database that lets you search for specific items or browse by type and even includes tips with each search. There are informational articles that explain why you should pay attention to expiration dates, as well as the differences between expiration dates, sell by dates, and best by dates.
Also be sure to check out the articles on the safe ways to defrost foods, what should be refrigerated, and even the best way to store bread.
