Unfortunately, some stores may not follow storage, sales and labeling rules.
Often, some of us buy food products without inspecting the packaging because we trust the retail outlet.
But sometimes your health may depend on the choice of product – it is important to carefully examine the label.
Let's take a look at what you need to pay attention to when purchasing food products in any store.
What signs may indicate that a product is expired
Here are some recommendations.
- Pay attention to the appearance of the label - it should not be wrinkled, dirty or greasy. The text on it should be legible and clear.
- If the label feels too thick, you can try to glue it off - there may be information about the actual expiration date underneath.
- Particular attention should be paid to the culinary departments, namely cheese, sausages, fish and marinated meat. Often such products are created from leftovers whose shelf life was approaching the end.
