It even breaks down expiration times by storage methods so you know how long food can last in a refrigerator or freezer.  Fried beef for example, would last 3-4 days in proper refrigeration :)

    Or hey, here’s a really novel idea; you could use your noggin. Give it a sniff, if you recoil then it’s gone off, if not, chances are you’ll be OK (worst case scenario, bit of a stomachache).
    It’s worked pretty well for thousands of years, no reason we need the internet for this now…
