Proper food storage will keep your food both fresher and safer. Most store-bought food today comes with certain guidelines to help you ensure that you are eating high quality, safe food.

Make sure that you know what the guidelines on your packaging mean:

Expiration Date - You should not consume any product after this date - it is when you should expect the food to go bad. Of course, realize that the date is relatively arbitrary - there is a chance that the food is just fine after this date. Nonetheless, to insure freshness and safety, you should throw out products that have passed the expiration date.

Use-By-Date - This is the last day that your product is considered fresh and top quality. Again, it does not mean that the food product suddenly rots or molds after this date. It is just a good guideline to follow.

Sell-By-Date - You can still consume products after this date. It is just the date that it is recommended that the store sells it by. You do not want to buy any products that are being sold after the sell-by-date, and you might want to inform the storekeeper if you find any (you might even be able to get a good deal on anything that is past the sell-by-date… if it is just a few days past, it is most likely still just fine). The sell-by-date is often on baked goods like breads.

Pack Date - This tells you when the food was processed. This date does not tell you how long the food will be good!

Also, different manufacturers stamp different codes on the bottoms of their cans or on their packages. Some are very understandable, and other ones are not. Because they all tend to use different codes, the codes can be tricky to learn. If you are curious about a certain product, call the manufacturer! Most manufacturers have a toll-free number printed on their product.

Also, realize that the guidelines are not always completely accurate. There is a chance that your milk will taste bad long before the sell-by date. If you buy bread that has a tear in the packaging, it very likely might be stale when you buy it, too. Do not buy any food with packaging that has been damaged in any way - ripped, broken, dented, etc.

If any food product that you buy changes in color, taste, or smell, it is time to discard it, regardless of the manufacturer’s recommended sell-by date, etc. Also, be aware that once you open a product, the date of lasting freshness may change - while it might have a shelf-life of over a year, once opened, it may only last for 2 weeks.

So, as you may have been able to tell by this article, the dates printed on food products mean different things, but none of them are exact days of when your food will be bad. They are simply guidelines. If you are worried that a certain food has gone bad, don’t hesitate to throw it out. It is better to be safe than sorry.

Also, the validity of the dates on the food products depends on whether or not you are storing your food properly. Food that is not stored properly may go bad long before the recommended use-by-date.

Noni fruit drink is available at brick-and-mortar health food stores as well as online vendors. It is also available from individual members of multi-level marketing companies, but it is recommended that you buy from an established seller.

Noni fruit drink can be expensive - sometimes $60 per liter, but a little goes a long way. Recommended dosage is only one or two ounces daily, on an empty stomach for best absorption.

You can buy any of three basic types of noni fruit drink. The purest form is made of pure noni juice. There are no pulps, seeds, leaves, or bark. It contains the highest concentration of nutrients. Bear in mind that the label might claim the contents to be 100% noni juice, but there might still be water added. (The added liquid reduces the pungent taste.)

The second purest form is pureed noni fruit. This is whole noni fruit, minus the seeds. The concentration of nutrients is not as high as with pure noni, but there is a much wider array of nutrients, affording you some of the more fibrous parts of the fruit. When buying noni juice made by this method, look for a 70% juice concentration or higher.

The third form of noni juice is powder to be mixed with other liquids, such as raspberry juice, cranberry juice, or orange juice. It usually takes 10 to 20 pounds of noni fruit to make one pound of powder. To re-hydrate, just pour in powder at a volume rate 1/10th to 1/20th that of the desired volume of liquid. It is available in bulk for about anywhere from $20 to $60 a pound.
