Not medical or professional advice

FoodLasts.com provides general food storage guidance sourced from USDA and FDA food-safety data. It is not a substitute for professional food safety advice. When in doubt, throw it out. If you suspect foodborne illness, contact a healthcare provider.

Accuracy

We strive for accuracy and review all safety claims against primary USDA and FDA sources. Credentialed expert sign-off is being added for our most-used pages. Storage times still vary by handling, temperature, and packaging — use your senses and judgment.

Acceptable use

You may use FoodLasts for personal, non-commercial reference. Automated scraping of the full corpus for republication without permission is prohibited. API access, when available, will require a separate license.

Corrections

Found an error? A corrections contact channel is coming soon. In the meantime, entries are regularly re-checked against the USDA, FDA, and FSIS sources cited on each page.

Limitation of liability

FoodLasts.com and its contributors are not liable for illness, injury, or loss arising from reliance on site content. Use at your own risk.
