Infographic: How Long Certain Foods Really Last In The Fridge

An infographic detailing how long some foods can be kept in the refrigerator and freezer. ...
by Erika Nicole Kendall

Spotted this infographic from HellaWella on the FoodRepublic website, and I think a few things are important to note, here:

  1. The difference in time between the refrigerated time and the frozen time;
  2. The lack of fruits or vegetables on here, and
  3. The fact that some of these are things you can easily stock up on during a sale, store in a freezer and hold onto for the future.

Looking at this infographic just makes me want to buy an additional freezer. Those of you who cowpool or jar/can/preserve fruits and veggies might want to consider doing the same.

Thoughts?

    According to this chart I should have expired a long time ago. I go well beyond these time limits.

    This is a very helpful graphic. I do have ONE burning question that often does prevent me from buying/eating my fruits and veggies – I feel like they don’t last very long. Generally how long can they keep in the fridge? I mean, I know not to eat it if it’s changing colors and growing fuzz, but I am scared to death of eating rotten food (that goes for meats, dairy, whatever….)

  • If you are trying to dispute something on the site, you will need more than anecdotal evidence (i.e., "My cousin's friend's uncle's girlfriend's boss did it and it worked!" If you've got books or at least Internet links, then we can talk. Otherwise, you risk your comment not being approved.
  • Foul language is discouraged. I'd like people to still be able to read the site at their jobs.
  • Disrespecting me or the people who post here is also unacceptable. Your comment won't be approved, and you might be banned. (Actually, I've grown to like embarrassing people who behave like they have no home training. Consider yourself warned.)
  • Everyone is welcome here. You don't have to be Black, you don't have to be a Girl. I'd prefer you to be human, and I'd prefer you to be kind. We're helping each other, right? :)
  • Last, but certainly not least, commenting here is a privilege. Not a matter of "freedom of speech," but a matter of "approved at the discretion of the the owner." It's how I keep the community civil. Everyone appreciates that civility until it's their comment on the chopping block. We simply don't have time for foolishness, here. (And please, don't e-mail me to complain. I already know you're mad.)
