This is a wonderful explanation about the dates on our food!

RESCUE ALERT: We get asked questions about “expiration dates” a lot, but most of them don’t have anything to do with food safety. This quick guide breaks down what those labels actually mean and how long food is still good after the date. Save this post so you have it handy next time you’re deciding what stays and what goes.
