Food safety reminder
This is a planning estimate, not a medical or regulatory guarantee. If food smells off, has unusual texture, or had temperature abuse, discard it even if within estimated date.
This tool uses generalized storage windows for common food categories, then adjusts based on opened status. It gives a practical planning date, not a lab-based guarantee.
