Tip of the Week
Foods with a USE BY day within 3 days – Use Coloured Day Dots. The coloured dot is the USE BY day.
Foods with a USE BY day longer than 3 days – use a HACCP label
Manufactured Packaged Foods
• All packaged foods are labelled with the manufacturer’s best before or use by dates. Whilst the food remains unopened, adhere to the manufacturer’s date.
• Once a pack is opened, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines which will state “Use within x days of opening”. Some foods have a shelf life of 3 days (processed ham/smoked salmon, etc.) – use a Coloured Day Dot. But some foods have a longer shelf life of up to 28 days (bottled sauces, chocolate, jam, etc.) – use a HACCP label.
Fresh Foods Prepared on Site
• Fresh foods prepared or cooked on site have a 3 day shelf life. For example, you cook a lasagna on Monday so use a Day Dot for Wednesday – 3 days including day of cooking.
• Label with a Coloured Day Dot
Foods Cooked and Frozen on Site
• Homecooked foods frozen on site need to be labelled using a HACCP label giving a 1 month date life
• Information on the label should include:– Product description, date of freezing and use by date
Alert
Shelf life less than 3 days – use a Coloured Day Dot.
Shelf life over 3 days – use a HACCP label
