Last updated: 9/4/2025

1) Informational Only

Does It Expire provides general, informational guidance about typical storage times for food. It is not medical, safety, or professional advice. Food safety depends on many factors beyond our control (handling, temperature, packaging, contamination, etc.). Always check labels and follow manufacturer and local public-health guidance. When in doubt, discard.

2) No Warranties

The site is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of information.

3) Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Does It Expire and its contributors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or data, arising from your use of the site, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

4) Source Attribution

Data is based on the USDA FoodKeeper open dataset (CC0). We are not affiliated with or endorsed by USDA. Times reflect typical quality windows; frozen foods kept at 0°F (-18°C) are generally safe indefinitely.

You are solely responsible for your food-safety decisions. If you suspect spoilage, throw it out. For emergencies or health concerns, contact a medical professional or local health authority.
