A freezer inventory should follow the product's own freezing and use directions. Record exact product, quantity and relevant dates without inventing a universal storage life.
What to check
| Check | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Identity | Keep recipe and package size. |
| Dates | Use the dates relevant to the product directions. |
| Rotation | Make earlier applicable stock easy to locate. |
