Misunderstood food date labels cost US families thousands of dollars each year. New FDA efforts to standardize labels and practical tips can help you save money and reduce waste.
Idk about this chart - I’ve had pizza reheated from the fridge almost a month after it was fresh, and regularly had it 2 weeks before eating the leftovers, with no problem at all.
I’m usually picky about leftovers, and that’s my only regular reheated meal; but that’s a big difference between 3-4 and 14-21+…
I just use freezer zipper bags and stuff a couple slices per bag. I get pizza regularly and I’ll usually get a size larger than I want, so I can store a few slices and the next time I get hungry and it’s too close to dinner for a real meal, but I don’t want to gorge myself with cookies or whatever quick snacks I have around, I throw two slices into the microwave, hit pizza mode, and like 2 minutes later I’m ready to burn my mouth.
Its probably following a general guideline, so if ya have better luck or just a better gut those time tables may not apply. I for one use the “does it tate weird” method, this has lead to me eating expired MREs and freezer burned food.

What the heck are you doing that you eat month old pizza out of your fridge?

Yeah, I look for weird discolorations and strange taste, smell, as my gauge.
