Essential Tips for Selecting Safe and Quality Food Products

Selecting food with care ensures safety and quality in your meals. For canned goods, look for undented, rust-free cans with valid sell-by dates. When choosing boxed or packaged food, ensure containers are unopened and undamaged. Fresh foods like eggs and dairy should have clean packaging and valid dates. Opt for frozen items without ice crystals and check for sell-by dates. For fruits and vegetables, choose in-season options with good color. Lastly, when buying meats, check for freshness, proper packaging, and sell-by dates for the best quality.
