FoodKeeper
The FoodKeeper can help you use food while at peak quality and reduce waste. The storage times listed are intended as useful guidelines and are not hard-and-fast rules. Some foods may deteriorate more quickly while others may last longer than the times suggested. The times will vary depending on the growing conditions, harvesting techniques, manufacturing processes, transportation and distribution conditions, nature of the food, and storage temperatures. Remember to buy foods in reasonable quantities and rotate the products in your pantry, refrigerator, and freezer.
Every year, billions of pounds of good food go to waste in the U.S. because consumers are not sure of its quality or safety. By reducing food waste through buying appropriate quantities, storing foods properly, cooking what is needed and composting, consumers can save money and reduce the amount of food going to landfills.
MPI Directory
The USDA MPI Directory provides access to information on regulated establishments that produce meat, poultry, and/or egg products as regulated by USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service. This app allows customers to look up or search establishments by location or ZIP code, type of inspection, establishment name or number and type of establishment.
