Description-of-Pack-Date-of-Eggs

 

We’ve all been there when it comes to expiration dates and food right??

 

 

You’ve left the milk in the fridge too long, you forgot about the veggies hidden in the crisper…those things we can see when we need to get rid of them…but what about items that you just aren’t sure about? Say a chocolate bar? 1 year from product date. Canned ground coffee unopened (it’s good for 2 years) opened its good for a month if it’s in the fridge…Diet pop or pop in plastic bottles, it’s good for up to 3 months unopened. Maple syrup real or artificial is good for 1 year…Beer, good for 4 months unopened (but who has beer just sitting in their house that long?)
