It can be tough to know how long various foods last in the refrigerator, in the freezer, and in the cabinet. FoodKeeper, housed at Foodsafety.gov, is a wonderful resource allowing you to browse by category or search for specific foods to learn more about the time frame in which it is safe to consume these items, depending on their storing conditions. This can be especially helpful when foods don’t have labels! Or if you’ve made the food at home, you may not know how long to safely store it before passing it to the trash or compost. You can also search for FoodKeeper as an application for your phone to have this information easily available in times of need.
