Choosing the Right Date Label Type

“Look at this tomorrow” is a useful kitchen prompt, but it is not a package safety date. Giving a planning reminder its own label keeps that distinction visible when the batch is reviewed later.

A cook wants to remember a 100 g spinach batch tomorrow but the package has its own label.

Save a reminder with its own meaning

1. Choose Spinach and enter 100 g.
2. Choose Reminder for the custom date and save the batch.
3. Review the displayed date type on the batch card.

Read the label type on the card

The batch card identifies the date as Reminder rather than Use By.

The card says Reminder because that is what was entered. The printed package date and any opening instructions still need to be followed; the reminder does not replace them.

Keep the package and follow its storage instructions and label independently.
