Food Date Labels

Simple, reliable shelf-life labels that support HACCP, stock rotation and food hygiene ratings — without labels falling off in the freezer.

Legal & ratings

Food date labels and the law

Food date and shelf-life labels should be applied to all foods (unless they are unopened and already have a supplier’s date code).

This is an essential food safety control and HACCP requirement to prevent out-of-date foods being used or sold. Having out-of-date foods on site can reduce your food hygiene rating from 5 to 2. Clear dating also supports FIFO stock rotation and reduces waste.
