Expiration Date Calculator

Use By: the date after which food may be unsafe to eat — critical for meat, fish, and dairy. Best Before: the date after which quality may decline, but food is often still safe. When in doubt with high-risk perishable foods, always follow the use by date and do not taste to check.

Check for: off smells (sour, ammonia, rotten), visible mould (green, black, white fuzz), unusual colour (grey meat, yellowed greens), slimy texture on meat or produce. With high-risk foods like meat, seafood, and dairy — if in doubt, throw it out. The cost of food poisoning is much higher than the cost of the food.

Yes — freezing stops bacterial growth immediately and is one of the most effective ways to extend food life. Food frozen before its expiry date is completely safe. Most proteins freeze well for 1-4 months, soups and stews for 3 months. Always freeze before the use-by date, not after it.

Eatvora lets you scan barcodes or receipts to add items, then automatically tracks expiration data. You can set manual dates too. Eatvora sends push notifications 2-3 days before any item expires and generates AI recipes to help you use those items up before they go bad.
