Question

According to the Food Code, proper food labels should NOT contain: The date that frozen preparation-needed foods are to be consumed The date frozen foods should be eaten once removed from the freezer The 24-hour time limit for thawed foods to be consumed The period of time ready-to-eat foods were refrigerated before being frozen

Answer 1

Answer: proper food label should not contain The date that frozen preparation-needed foods are to be consumed.

Explanation: If a food can be frozen its usage can be extended beyond the use by date labeled on it, therefore, 'use by' dates are not significant on frozen foods since it can be conserved until whenever it is consumed. Only fresh foods need use by dates as they spoil or expire quicker.
