Item shelf life labels indicate the time and date a food product should be used by. Shelf life food labels come in four different material types, including dissolvable shelf life labels which disappear completely in under 30 seconds and removable shelf life labels that remove easily from food containers. Shelf life labels are versatile and can be applied to a variety of food rotation programs. Many shelf life labels also indicate the preparation date so employees clearly see the ideal freshness and safety for a food product.
