Food Savvy
FOOD IS SAFE TO EAT AFTER THE BEST BEFORE DATE
Don't let dates on packaging baffle you into throwing good food away!
The USE BY date is the only date label you need to worry about.
The BEST BEFORE date is just a quality date and has nothing to do with food safety.
DISPLAY UNTIL and SELL BY are just guidance for the shop – you can ignore them!
You can freeze food right up to the use by date. Just make sure that you cook and eat it on the same day it is defrosted.

Savvy Storage
The key to food staying fresher longer is savvy storage
-
Most fresh food should be kept in the fridge
-
Potatoes and onions prefer a cool dark place
-
Bananas prefer the fruit bowl
-
Bread is better in a cupboard or freezer
