How do I track food and use-by dates?

1. Tap More. Tap Food: what's in the fridge, and when it goes.
2. Tap the button that fits: Put in the fridge, Put in the freezer, Take out to thaw or Made something.
3. Type the food's name under What is it?. Tap Type it instead if the app offers a camera first.
4. If the package has a printed date, type it in Date on the package. Tap Save the date.
5. Read Write this on the wrap:. Write those lines on the wrap or the label.
6. If a line is under Cross out:, cross it out. Tap Done.

The list has four parts: Fridge, Freezer, Out of the fridge and Dry storage. Each row shows the name, a date such as No date yet or a use-by date, and one button. Tap a row to see Where the date came from. It may say From the label, Someone typed it, By the food rules or We assumed it.

Food that needs you sits under Needs you. Food that must go shows a red Throw it out mark with the reason.

To throw food out

1. Tap the Threw it out button on the row.
2. Pick How much? and Why?.
3. Tap Threw it out. It goes on the discard log.

If it does not look like this

• Food was out of the fridge more than 2 hours? The app asks if it stayed cold or hot the whole time. If it did not, throw it out.
• No printed date and you made it yourself? The app assumes you made it today and says so with We assumed it.
• The list is empty? It says No food here yet. Tap a button above as you put food away.

• Typing a food in and tapping the buttons is included in every plan.
• Reading a photo is a paid add-on. If your place does not have it, the app tells you to type the food in.
• A date printed on the package is never made longer. The app only counts from what you enter.
