Description
The FoodKeeper can help consumers use food while at peak quality and reduce waste. The storage times listed are intended as useful guidelines and are not hard-and-fast rules. Some foods may deteriorate more quickly while others may last longer than the times suggested. The times will vary depending on the growing conditions, harvesting techniques, manufacturing processes, transportation and distribution conditions, nature of the food, and storage temperatures. Remember to buy foods in reasonable quantities and rotate the products in your pantry, refrigerator, and freezer.
Every year, billions of pounds of good food go to waste in the U.S. because consumers are not sure of its quality or safety. Food waste from households represents about 44% of all food waste generated in the U.S. By reducing food waste through buying appropriate quantities, storing foods properly, cooking what is needed and composting, consumers can save money and reduce the amount of food going to landfills.

Ratings and Reviews
Doesn't work
Just downloaded this app, just keeps crashing and doesn't even get past the home page
Useful app to minimise food waste at home
This app provides all the information you need to decide how long food will keep past its ‘best before’ date.
It is concise and to the point and simply advises how many days, months or years different food types keep in the pantry, refrigerator or freezer.
If you have ever looked at a can at the back of the pantry and wondered if it is still safe to use or whether to to trash it instead then this is the app for you.
If you have no intention of consuming the product then it might still be worth donating it to a food bank instead.
In terms of the functionality of the app it works fine for me.
The App FREEZES !!!
Some items on the database just freeze the app.
Is this deliberate irony? 😬
