How long does your food last?

FoodLasts is built for the moment you are holding a container, a package, or a half-used ingredient and need a practical next step. Search a food to see the fridge, freezer, and pantry windows that apply to that food, then open the full page for storage states, spoilage signs, source notes, and related safety tools.

The site does not fill gaps with guesses. If the source data does not support a fridge, freezer, or pantry card, that card stays hidden. Each food page keeps its cited USDA, FDA, or FSIS source family visible so you can tell where a storage window came from and when the page was last updated in the data pipeline.

Use the category pages when you want to browse, the comparison pages when you need to decide what to use first, and the storage chart or power outage checker when the question is broader than one food. Dates are only part of the decision: packaging, temperature history, odor, texture, and visible spoilage still matter, so the detailed food pages keep the final safety context close to the numbers.

Start with the storage state, then use the tools for edge cases. FoodLasts is meant to make the next safe step easier without pretending a date can replace your senses, your storage history, or official guidance.
