To help assure quality, some products have "open dates" on the package. Product dating is optional on most products. Dates may also be "coded" by the manufacturer and only understood by them. The most commonly used open dates are:
Sell-by Date: This is the last recommended day of sale, but allows for home storage and use. The date is given after the statement, "Sell by (a date)." Breads and baked goods may have "sell-by dates."
Use-by Date: Tells how long the product will retain top quality after you buy it. You will find this date after the statement, "Use by." Some packaged goods have "use-by dates."
Expiration Date: This is the last day the product should be used or eaten. You may find this date after the statement, "Do not use after (date)." Eggs may have "expiration dates."
Pack Date: Canned or packaged foods may have dates that tell you when the product was processed. This does not tell how long the food will be good.
These are guidelines; if a food is not properly handled, its storage life will be shortened. Follow these tips for purchasing top-quality foods that have been handled safely.
• Look for packages of food that are not torn or broken.
• Refrigerated food should feel cold (less than 45 °F) and frozen food should be frozen solid. Purchase these foods last.
• When shopping, place packaged raw meat, poultry and fish in plastic bags and keep from contact with other foods.
• Take perishable foods home quickly to refrigerate. If travel time will exceed one hour, pack fresh meats in a cooler with ice and keep in the passenger area of the car in warm weather.
• At home, refrigerate perishable food immediately. The "DANGER ZONE" for most food is between 40 to 140 °F. Bacteria grow most rapidly in this range of temperatures, doubling in number in as little as 20 minutes.

STORAGE GUIDELINES
For best results in maintaining product quality practice the rule: FIRST IN, FIRST OUT. This means you use the oldest products first and the newest products later. A good practice in the home is to place the newly purchased products in back of the same products already on the shelf. It may help to write purchase dates on products without "open dates" on the package. Follow recommended storage times for the refrigerator and freezer.
Freezer:
• Keep freezer temperature at or below 0 °F. A good indication of proper temperature is that ice cream will be frozen solid.
• Use moisture-proof, freezer-weight wrap. Examples are foil, freezer bags and freezer paper. Label and date all packages.
• Food stored beyond the recommended time will be safe to eat, but eating quality (flavor and texture) and nutritive value will be less.
• Keep an inventory of freezer contents.
Refrigerator:
• Use a thermometer to check that temperature remains between 34 and 40 °F at all times. Avoid frequently opening the refrigerator door, especially in hot weather.
• Wrapping perishable food prevents the loss of flavor and the mixing of flavor and odors.
• Raw meat, fish, poultry, shucked shellfish and shrimp should be wrapped securely so they do not leak and contaminate other foods. Place the store packages in a leak-proof plastic bag or place the package on a plate to contain any juices. Clean up leaks with warm soapy water and sanitize with a solution of 1 teaspoon chlorine bleach to 1 quart water.
• Cooked meats and leftovers should be tightly wrapped to prevent drying out.
• Avoid cross contamination of other foods in the refrigerator by live shellfish.
• Do not store live shellfish in water or in an air-tight container where they could suffocate and die. Store in a shallow dish covered with damp paper towels. Discard shellfish that has died in storage.
