About

KeepsUntil answers one question about food: how long it keeps, and where. Every figure comes from the USDA FoodKeeper data; everything compared between those figures is computed here and can be checked against the source.

What this is

A reference, not advice. The USDA publishes storage windows across the 661 records of its FoodKeeper file and stops there. This site turns those windows into a date on your calendar, prints every figure and note the source gives each food as published, and ranks foods by what the freezer buys and what opening the package costs. The dates and the rankings are ours; the figures are the source’s.

What it cannot tell you

It cannot see your food. A window is a published figure for food handled as the source assumes; it is not a verdict on the item in your hand, and the source does not say which figures mark safety and which mark quality. The FDA and USDA FSIS rules that apply to every food are on each food page and on the past the date page.

Who publishes it

BiLingoPlus LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company. The site is independent: it is not affiliated with the USDA, the FDA or any food producer, it sells nothing, and it carries no affiliate links. Advertising, when it appears, is marked as advertising.

Corrections

Figures are parsed mechanically, so a mismatch with the source is a bug rather than an opinion. Tell us the page and the row on the contact page. How the site is built, and which numbers are ours, is set out on the method page.
