📅 What You Need to Know About Food Expiration Dates – When to Eat, When to Toss (Spoiler: Most Food Lasts Longer Than You Think!) 🍽️✅

✅ Freeze it – Bread, meat, milk, even eggs (beat first!) can be frozen

✅ Label leftovers – Write the date on containers

✅ First In, First Out (FIFO) – Move older items to the front

✅ Compost – Turn scraps into garden gold instead of trash

❤️ Final Thought: Don’t Let a Label Decide What Gets Eaten

Food waste isn’t just about throwing things away.

It’s wasted money.

Wasted resources.

And unnecessary stress.

The next time you’re staring at a “expired” carton of milk or a week-old chicken breast…

Pause.

Check it.

Smell it.

Trust your instincts.

Because real food safety isn’t written in ink —

It’s written in sight, smell, and sense.

So eat with confidence.

Waste less.

And savor every bite. 💛
