Frequently Asked Questions About Packaged food
Is packaged food bad for you?
Packaged food is not automatically unhealthy; its nutritional quality varies widely. Compare similar products for sodium, added sugars and saturated fat, and choose options with more useful ingredients and less of those nutrients when available.
What does packaged food mean?
Packaged food is food prepared or processed for sale in a container, wrapper or sealed pack. It can be ready to eat, or it may need cooking or reheating. The package instructions tell you how to handle that particular product.
How should you store packaged food after opening it?
After opening packaged food, follow the storage directions on its label. If it needs refrigeration, transfer it to a clean, covered container if the original package cannot be resealed, and refrigerate it promptly rather than leaving it out.
Can you eat packaged food after its expiration date?
It depends on the date wording and the food. A “use by” date on perishable packaged food is about safety, so do not eat it after that date. A “best before” date usually concerns quality, but check the package for storage instructions.
Is packaged food safe if the package is swollen or leaking?
No. Do not eat packaged food if its container is swollen, leaking, punctured or unsealed. Damaged packaging can compromise the food, and smelling or tasting it is not a reliable way to decide whether it is safe.
Can you microwave packaged food in its packaging?
Only microwave packaged food in its original packaging if the label explicitly says it is microwave-safe. Remove any parts the instructions say to remove, such as a metal lid, and follow the stated heating directions.
Does packaged food always contain preservatives?
No. Some packaged food contains preservatives, while other products rely on methods such as refrigeration, drying or sealing. Check the ingredient list for that specific product; packaging alone does not tell you whether preservatives were added.
Can you freeze packaged food?
Some packaged food can be frozen, but the product and its label determine whether that is suitable. Check whether it was previously frozen and follow its storage directions; freezing may also change the texture of some foods.
Does packaged food need to be cooked before eating?
No. Some packaged food is ready to eat, while other products must be cooked or reheated. Follow the preparation instructions on the package, especially when it specifies thorough cooking rather than simply warming the food.
How can you tell if packaged food is ready to eat?
Look for wording such as “ready to eat” on the packaged food label. If the instructions say to cook the product, do so before eating; packaging and appearance alone do not show that a food is safe to eat without preparation.
