Although expired food cannot necessarily get you in trouble with health inspectors, it’s likely that diners will notice the difference in taste and quality of the food you are serving. To avoid getting caught, it is best to rotate your food supply so that old stock does not sit idle for too long and remain visible to staff. Additionally, store expiration dates on shelves farthest away from public view or in a locked cabinet if possible. Finally, make sure to train employees well on storage and hygiene regulations to avoid any potential citations by health officials.

It is important to note that expired food cannot be legally served to customers. To avoid being cited by health inspectors, restaurants should have proper protocols in place for storing andlabeling food so it can be easily identified when it reaches its expiration date. Additionally, restaurants must also visually examine the food each day to check for any signs of spoilage or deterioration that may indicate the food is not fit for consumption.
