01 · Exact condition

Raw is not cooked

Opened, unopened, fresh and prepared items can have different time windows. We list them separately.

02 · Context matters

Dates are not a safety test

Only calculate with proper storage assumptions. Your actual temperature and handling history are not verified.

03 · Traceable data

See the government source

Each reference points to an official storage chart. Freezer times reflect quality, not a safety deadline.
