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
Gets the job done but some display issues
Just discovered the app and and appreciate the content. I’m seeing some minor display issues with text not formatting properly. Does not seem to be a way to submit app issues via the app or the web site linked via App Support.
Love it and have a request
I find this app really helpful. The only thing I wish is that under each meat it had a tab for how long raw meat will last in the fridge before cooking, a tab for how long it will last once cooked and a tab for cooking information. Right now it has two of those tabs. One with how to cook the meat but I am not always clear weather the meat is raw or cooked regrading self life storage information. Having a clearly marked tab for each with shelf life info for both circumstances would be even more helpful.
Thank you!

The app isn’t usable on iPhone
I have had this app in the past, and it seemed to be OK as far as I recall. I had to re-download it today, and formatting of the text was terrible on the iPhone. I deleted the app, re-downloaded it, and it’s the same. There’s text embedded along the top line in the title of the app when you try to use it. When you switch over to an item, such as beef, and tap on the cooking tab, the items do not format correctly, and nothing is interactive. The cooking times are zero. It’s just poorly executed on the iPhone at this point.
