The correct labeling of all covered food products by food handlers can help you rotate pre-portioned and prepped food stored in your food business. Rotation is essential in serving the best product possible and preventing food-borne illness.

Proper date and time labeling indicates the safe shelf life of perishable food and health inspectors look for evidence of how knowledgeable your employees are about the food that’s being kept hot and cold for any length of time.

Food needs to be marked at the time of preparation, or when a container is opened, if the food is to be held for more than 24 hours, to indicate the date or day by which the food shall be consumed on the premises, sold, or discarded.
