Is This Food Still Safe to Eat? — StillGood?: The Date Label Decoder That Stops Parents Throwing Away Good Food

You're standing at the fridge. The label says "Best Before 3 May." It's the 8th. Do you throw it away?

If you said yes, you probably didn't need to.

Most families throw away perfectly safe food every week because nobody ever clearly explained what date labels actually mean. Best Before is not a safety deadline. Sell By is not for you. Use By is the only one that genuinely matters — and most people treat them all the same.

StillGood? fixes that. In plain language, with no jargon, in under a minute.

Here's what's inside:

🏷️ 5 flip-card label explainers — one for each label type: Best Before, Use By, Sell By, Freeze By, and Expiry Date. Tap to flip and read the verdict on the back. Clear, instant, no guessing.

📅 Live date checker — enter the label type and the date from your packaging and tap Decode. Get an exact verdict based on the label type and how many days have passed. Not a generic answer — a specific one.

🍎 15 food guides — raw chicken, eggs, milk, deli meats, soft cheese, cooked rice, infant formula, bread, and more. Each with its governing label, safety window, what to do, and any safety warnings you need to know.
