Storing

All food items need to be rotated to ensure that the oldest items in inventory are used first. The first in, first out (FIFO) method of rotation is used to ensure that all food products are properly rotated in storage.

Food service operators who are looking for a fail-safe tool to identify the shelf life of their perishable food inventory can easily monitor shelf life with DayMark TimeStrip. The DayMark TimeStrip reduces waste of salable products by eliminating premature disposal and identifying expired food. By using the DayMark TimeStrip, operators can easily identify food products
for proper food rotation to use up soon-to-expire products. It also improves monitoring to help meet HACCP regulatory standards.

How TimeStrip Labels Work
TimeStrip labels are easy to use. First, peel off the backing paper and squeeze the bubble on the back. Apply TimeStrip to the container or wrapping. The first window will show that its activated. As time goes by, the color will advance. When it reaches one day, use the food. When it reaches Discard, discard the food.
