Interesting facts
Food is precious!
Milk and dairy products are chilled foods. This means they have to be kept refrigerated. Exceptions to this rule are shelf-stable dairy products (e.g. UHT milk/products). These can be safely stored for several months in their original sealed packaging – but once opened, they must be treated in the same way as chilled, fresh foods.
Every product has a best before date printed on the packaging. As the manufacturer, we guarantee that the product will be in perfect condition until that date – but only if the storage guidelines (e.g. correct refrigeration temperature) are adhered to. If the temperature inside the fridge is set too high, this can shorten the shelf life of dairy products considerably. A clean fridge can also make food last for longer. Most dairy products will still be edible even after the best before date. So don’t throw them away immediately! Instead, check the food using your senses:
Important! The best before date printed on dairy products must not be confused with the use-by date of highly perishable foods such as fresh meat and mince. Eating these types of food after the use-by date could be harmful to your health. |
