Check the expiration date on the food items prior to consuming them. You should also check the Food and Drug Administration website to get more information about food expiration dates. Furthermore, avoid purchasing any food items that are past their expiration date or appear to be spoiled.

Be sure to check the labels on the food for an expiration date. To make sure you are eating safe, Food Safety rules of thumb is to use food products with a manufacture date that has not passed and eat food products within four to six months after purchase. If the packaging looks damaged or compromised in any way, do not consume the product and dispose of it properly. Additionally, if a food product smells off or looks questionable upon inspection, best practice is to discard it as well. Lastly, consider that leftovers should be refrigerated within two hours of being prepared; this rule applies especially when storing sauces and condiments.
