Eat By Date Batch Label Protocol
An eat by date batch label protocol marks cook date and eat-by on every portion—fridge days versus freezer months—so FIFO and safety survive busy weeks.
An eat by date batch label protocol writes cook date plus eat-by on every fridge and freezer portion—masking tape and marker beat mystery lids. Fridge cooked poultry: often three to four days; freezer soups: two to three months at 0°F.
Color dots can flag high-carb training days. Teach housemates the same format.
Common questions
-
Should labels show cook date or freeze date?
Cook date is primary—eat-by for fridge from cook day; for freezer, add freeze month if cook and freeze differ. FIFO uses the oldest cook date in the bin.
