Answer 1

Some general information on products.

KRAFT FOODS
It is difficult to tell you how long you can expect to store a product after the date stamped on the package. Perish ability of individual products does vary. How a product has been handled during distribution and in the home can also have a bearing on how long a product will stay fresh. To assure the best quality and flavor, we recommend that you use this product on or before the date stamped.

GENERAL MILLS

An explanation of our product code information. All food products have an established length of time for storage. Determining how long to save products is often confusing to consumers.

The following overview, of the three methods of coding used on our
products, will help you make these determinations:

BETTER IF USED BY DATE
Big G cereal and Bisquick use this style coding on the box tops.
These products are guaranteed to be fresh through this date.

SELL BY DATE
Colombo and Yoplait refrigerated yogurts state this information on the
containers or lids. For optimum quality, these products should be consumed within seven days after this date.

MANUFACTURING DATE
The manufacturing date is coded to the fiscal year, which begins on the
1st of June and is completed the following May 31st. It is interpreted
as follows:

*The first letter of the code indicates the month in which the product was made.
*The number immediately following is the last number of the year in which the product was made.
*The next two numbers indicate the day of the month of production.
*The following letters and number(s) represent plant and shift information identifying the location of production.

A code date which reads A829W is translated as follows:
"A" = June
"8" = 1998
"29" indicates the 29th day of the month
"W" indicates production at our West Chicago plant.
(Most of our products have a shelf life of at least 8-12 months.)

Our 12-month cycle is listed below. We don't use the letter "I" because it may be confused with a number.
A - JUNE
B - JULY
C - AUGUST
D - SEPTEMBER
E - OCTOBER
F - NOVEMBER
G - DECEMBER
H - JANUARY
J - FEBRUARY
K - MARCH
L - APRIL
M - MAY

Once a product is past its shelf life date, the taste and performance
may not be of the highest quality. However, due to the low pH level of
our products, it's virtually impossible for them to support food pathogens.

The question of "freshness" is quite different in the case of meats,
produce and dairy products, when compared with process-packed, canned or stable groceries. The major consumer concern, with long shelf-life
products such as ours, is not deterioration due to age, but deterioration due to improper storage after the product leaves our
control. Because imprinting pull dates on the tops of our products
would not solve the problem, a more satisfactory answer was needed.
Thus, we implemented our Product Guarantee.

We are confident that the best protection we can give our consumers is
to insure them against loss through this guarantee, which is printed on
every carton of our food products. It guarantees consumer satisfaction
with the performance and/or quality of any General Mills' product
purchased, or an adjustment will be made.

We hope this information is helpful and that you continue to use and
enjoy our products.

CAMPBELL SOUP
The recommended use by date is printed on the package. It always starts with a month and year. This is the last best date to consume the product by. After this date, we recommend that you discard the product.

LIPTON
Lipton dried soup 12-15 months after production

BERTOLLI OLIVE OIL
Two years from date on package (bottle or can)

Answer 4

I would look on the box for a date. If it's past that or close to it, I would toss it out. There was a report not that long ago that mold spores start growing when it's kept in a warm place and when you cook it and eat it you get really sick. Keep it in the fridge or freezer in the future.

Answer 5

Eggs, Pot, Water, Salt, let sit 5min to let eggs come to water temp, medium boil 5min, fire off set 5min., peel under cold running water.
Rotate your Pantry stock every 6 months, this is just like the guy that wanted to know if his pancake mix was still good, Expiration Date 2000. Buy fresh, and enjoy your Hard Boiled eggs. Got Hot Sauce?

Answer 6

Mix a little bit of it with some vinegar. If it fizzes, it's still good. If it doesn't, you could probably add a little baking powder and use it anyway.

Answer 7

it's powdered, anything dehydrated lasts longer. It's fine as long as you cooked it and didn't eat it raw.

Answer 8

it is marked with an experation date all food is check for it somewhere on the flaps. Good luck and god bless.

Answer 9

it will stay good for a long time just check for buggs and other stuff in the mix and you will be fine
