1 Choose food-contact containers
Use clean, dry food-grade containers with suitable lids. Never reuse chemical containers. Check materials and intended use rather than judging only by appearance.
2 Transfer the full label
Record the product, transfer date, original date and batch where available. Retain allergen information and instructions. Keep separate purchases in separate containers or clearly labelled inner packs.
3 Avoid untested preservation tricks
Closing a jar, vacuum packing or heating food in an oven does not make arbitrary food safe for years. Use tested product-specific preservation methods rather than videos making general promises.
Practical checklist
- A food-grade container.
- A clean, dry interior.
- Dates and allergens retained.
- Batches kept distinguishable.
Frequently asked questions
Can I mix old and new supplies?
Keeping them separate preserves dates and allows each batch to be inspected.
Does vacuum packing mean unlimited shelf life?
No. It does not replace storage requirements or a safe preservation method.
