Doesn't it have, at least, a " sell by " date on it? It's generally good for a week or so after that date. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The " date in " shows you how long you have in relation to the sell by date, and the " date out " tells you when you took it out of the freezer. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 thanks, isn't the sell by date null and void at that point, if it's been frozen awhile - because you'd be past that date when taking it out of the freezer already eileen > > > > > >it had been frozen so can't go by that - thanks all > > This is why a small piece of freezer tape with > the " date in " and " date out " on the package can > be helpful in determining how long it should be good. > > The " date in " shows you how long you have in > relation to the sell by date, and the " date out " > tells you when you took it out of the freezer. > > > — Marilyn > New Orleans, Louisiana, USA > Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 > Darn Good SCD Cook > No Human Children > Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. If I can get some food items into the freezer before they pass their sell by dates, I consider it a good day! Let alone being all efficient by marking down those dates on tape and such.

Well, most of the time, I'm lucky if I remember to put what it is on a container of food. It was rather surprising to open what I thought was a container of celeriac mock potatoes and find it was really a container of brie sauce. Not BAD, mind you. Just startling. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say the sell-by date in Jan 30 2010. You bought it on Jan 15. You put it in the freezer that day. (Your " date in " date) On 28 February, you take it out. (Your " date out " date) If it's good for two weeks after the " sell by date, that means you have the fifteen days from the time you bought it to its sell-by date, and the two weeks after the sell by date, for about 29 days. So it would be good till the end of March in your fridge. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
