The FoodKeeper can help consumers use food while at peak quality and reduce waste. The storage times listed are intended as useful guidelines and are not hard-and-fast rules. Some foods may deteriorate more quickly while others may last longer than the times suggested. The times will vary depending on the growing conditions, harvesting techniques, manufacturing processes, transportation and distribution conditions, nature of the food, and storage temperatures. Remember to buy foods in reasonable quantities and rotate the products in your pantry, refrigerator, and freezer.
Every year, billions of pounds of good food go to waste in the U.S. because consumers are not sure of its quality or safety. Food waste from households represents about 44% of all food waste generated in the U.S. By reducing food waste through buying appropriate quantities, storing foods properly, cooking what is needed and composting, consumers can save money and reduce the amount of food going to landfills.

USDA FoodKeeper FAQ
Is USDA FoodKeeper free?
Yes, USDA FoodKeeper is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is USDA FoodKeeper legit?
🤔 The USDA FoodKeeper app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
Just heard about your app and thought it would be very helpful. It probably would be helpful if I could navigate through the app. Not user friendly, as soon as I opened the app, it is in a stuck position. Repeatedly tried to open, but get the same stuck page. Please fix this or don’t have it available. What good is it when it doesn’t work properly?
Gets the job done but some display issues
Just discovered the app and and appreciate the content. I’m seeing some minor display issues with text not formatting properly. Does not seem to be a way to submit app issues via the app or the web site linked via App Support.
App currently not working
Updated the app and it no longer works. No categories to pick from and the search function doesn't work at all. Bummer as this was my go-to when cleaning out my fridge and would recommend it to others
Latest update makes app look boring and unprofessional
The latest update makes the app look unprofessional and amateurish, like some kid’s project. The United States Department of Agriculture is superimposed over the Food Safety Inspection Service at the top, the font is way too big and there is no way to adjust it. Serious downgrade. Deleting it.
Love it!!!
I Love it!!! It’s been so so useful especially when there’s been a power outage…😱
Needs accessibility improvements
The font colors don’t adjust for anyone using dark mode. There must be some code you can add to fix this.
Why hasn’t it been Updated!
The USDA website has been updated but not the app?!
No QA
Too many flaws that would be so easy to fix if they tested it and then fixed issues found. It works a basic level ... if you really need it.
Enhancement: provide scaled flagging of danger of consuming past exp date: one x taste bad 3x does not work. 6 x will make kids sick 10 x will kill you provide way to search and list foods based on danger to health or probability of recipes failure due to being to old
Hard to Read in Dark Mode
Hard to read when iPhone in dark mode. No way to change display within app.
Language changes to Spanish
Setting says English but while searching Spanish names show. Very frustrating
