Suzie's Tips ... Delicious Food and Keeping it Safe

Dating of Lamb Products and Additives Product dating is not required by Federal regulations. However, many stores and processors may voluntarily date packages of raw lamb or processed lamb products. If a calendar date is shown, there must be a phrase explaining the meaning of the date. Use or freeze products with a "Sell-By" date within 3 to 5 days of purchase. If the manufacturer has determined a "Use-By" date, observe it. This is a quality assurance date after which peak quality begins to lessen but the product may still be used. It's always best to buy a product before its date expires. It's not important if a date expires after freezing lamb because all foods stay safe while frozen. Additives are not allowed on fresh lamb. If it is processed, additives such as MSG, salt, or sodium erythorbate must be listed on the label. Nice to have you here at the food blog.
