Some food items you receive may be past the”Best Before” dates printed on the package. “Best Before” dates do not mean a product is expired. Except for infant formula, dates are not an indicator of the product’s safety.

• Best if Used By/Before indicates when a product will be of best flavor or quality. It is not a purchase or safety date.

• Sell-By date tells the store how long to display the product for sale for inventory management. It is not a safety date.

• Use by date is the last date recommended for the use of the product while at peak quality. It is not a safety date except for when used on infant formula.

Anyone can host a food drive for the pantry or place your donations on the acrylic rack by the exit doors in Market Place Foods. We always accept fresh produce and fresh game meat as long as it is processed in a processing plant with the State of Wisconsin seal on the package.
