How many times have you reached into the corners of your fridge or freezer and turned up food that might still be ok to eat, but you tossed it because you weren’t sure? Or food that would have been fine, if only you had wrapped it properly?

Wasted food is never a good thing, but in these challenging economic times, it’s even more important to make the most out of every grocery dollar. Enter StillTasty.com, an online encyclopedia of foods that lists shelf life and smart storage information. This comprehensive site, created by food safety expert Jeanie Revell, who spent 20 years working for the Canadian government educating consumers on food safety and nutrition, offers information on hundreds of foods. It even addresses how long packaged foods will last once they’re opened. The easy-to-use site also gives answers to common food safety questions and articles on subjects such as safe ways to thaw frozen food.
