Product dates are not an accurate indication of when food becomes unsafe, but they can help consumers understand when food is at its peak quality. To maintain top quality, it’s important to purchase products before they expire, refrigerate perishable items immediately after purchase, and freeze them if they won’t be used within the recommended time frame. Once food is frozen, its safety is ensured indefinitely, even if the expiration date passes, as long as it remains frozen continuously. Always adhere to the handling instructions provided and consult storage guidelines for more specific advice. Food stored at 0 °F or below remains safe indefinitely, though the quality may decrease over time.
