Taking Stock of Food Dating - N2N Global Provides Tips to Insure post Hurricane Irene Food is Safe

Orlando, Fla. (PRWEB) August 30, 2011

Following Hurricane Irene, many people cleaning debris from their yards, haggling with with insurance agents and mopping up soggy floors. One critical part of cleanup is making sure the post-Irene food people eat from their pantries is safe for consumption. Power outages are causing people to dig deep into cupboards too see what?s left.

Taking stock of your pantry means more than just figuring out what you need to put on your grocery list. Take time to take to look at the dates of the products. ? ?Sell-by?, ?best if used by? and ?use-buy dates? can make your head spin. But there are a few guidelines to remember that will help you make sure the food you are serving your family is up to date,?says Angela Paymard, Chairwoman of the Orlando based, N2N Global.

Paymard knows food safety. Her Florida based company provides operations compliance, and food safety solutions for food companies, which helps ensure the world?s food supply operates in an efficient and effective manner, resulting in a higher quality food in the supply chain. Paymard works with restaurants, retailers, distributers, packers and processors around the world.

WHATS IN A DATE

Sell-By

This date tells the store how long to put the product on the shelf for sale. This is a product you want to buy before the date expires.

Best if Used By

This is not a date required for safety. It simply recommends a timeline for maximizing product quality which translates to better flavor and quality. It?s safe to use the product even if the date expires during home storage.

Use By

This is the last date recommended for the best flavor and quality as determined by the manufacturer of the food.

The federal government does not have a universal system for dating food. However, infant formula and some baby foods are federally mandated to have use-by dates on their labels. The USDA says you should not use baby formula or baby food after the use-by date.

Product dates aren?t always the best to go by. ?It?s best to always purchase a product before it expires. If you freeze a perishable product the expiration date doesn?t matter because foods kept frozen continuously are safe indefinitely according the USDA,? Paymard explains.

?If product is refrigerated to below 40 degrees the product can last beyond the ?use by? date.?

Canned Food

High acid canned foods like tomatoes will have the best shelf quality for 12 to 18 months. Low acid foods like canned meat, poultry fish and vegetables will retain the best quality on the shelf for 2 to 5 years. Be sure to store cans in a dry, clean , cool place.

Eggs

Always buy your eggs before the sell-by sate on the carton and use them within the 3 to 5 weeks of the date you purchased them. Even though the sell-by date may expire while they sit in your refrigerator during that time, it?s still safe to eat them.

?Use common sense. If a product has an out of the ordinary odor, flavor or appearance, don?t use it. If may have been compromised by bacteria. Pay special attention to opaque water as that is a clear indication of bacterial saturation,? Paymard advises.

ABOUT N2N

N2N Global?s product suite brings powerful solutions for all members of the food supply chain. For Supply Side companies, N2N Global offers agri-ERP solutions, farm management, food safety, business analytics and traceability software.

Barnett Dermatology Offers Tips for Maintaining Great Skin in 2012

(PRWEB) December 29, 2011

For those who are making a New Year?s resolution for healthier skin, Dr. Channing Barnett of New York based Barnett Dermatology offers the following skincare tips:

?For starters,? says Dr. Barnett, ?hydrate your skin both during the day and at night.? Properly hydrated skin is firmer and brighter than dehydrated skin and doesn?t show lines and wrinkles as dramatically. Hydrated skin also means fewer acne breakouts.

For daytime, she recommends a gentle moisturizer with a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or greater. This daytime moisturizer should also be non-comedogenic (non-pimple forming), non-irritating and easy to use with makeup. The combination of hydration and sun protection achieved with a moisturizing sunscreen will help protect the skin from dryness, sun damage and long-term aging. Her personal favorites include Elta MD?s UV Clear for acne-prone skin and Elta MD?s UV Daily for sensitive, dry skin.

?At bedtime, hydration is the focus, and sun protection obviously is not a factor. Therefore, I recommend using one hydrating product for the eyes and one hydrating product for the face,? says Dr. Channing Barnett. ?There are many eye and face products available being marketed as ?Anti-Aging,? however many of these include ingredients that can be irritating and drying such as retinol or glycolic acid. The key is to find bland, gentle, moisturizing products that hydrate and protect the skin. The eyes especially are very sensitive and dryness contributes to their looking wrinkled, discolored and puffy.? For the face, Dr. Barnett recommends Elta MD?s PM Therapy Facial Moisturizer, Cerave? Facial Moisturizing Lotion PM or Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion. For the eyes, she recommends Obagi ELASTIderm? Eye Treatment or channingMD?s Healing Ointment.

Let?s also not forget to drink water for healthier, hydrated skin.

Dr. Barnett?s next recommendation is to ?get those blackheads and pores under control! We all have them and we all hate them.? Blackheads are large, open pores containing oil that has oxidized from the air causing it to turn black. Removing the oils through methods such as acne extractions or pore-cleansing devices such as the Isolaz? temporarily minimizes the blackheads. ?But once the oil fills back up in the pore, the blackhead will appear again,? says Dr. Barnett. ?The key to getting them under control is in combining the removal process with exfoliation treatments to keep the pores clean.? Exfoliation treatments include topical alpha-hydroxy acid products, topical RetinA or retinol products, or office-based treatments such as SilkPeel? Dermalinfusion. These treatments will also slough off dead, rough patches and brighten one?s complexion, resulting in refreshed and rejuvenated skin.

Third on the list of Dr. Barnett?s healthy skincare tips is sleep. ?Get your sleep!,? says Dr. Barnett. ?We are all tempted to cut into our sleep time in order to increase our productivity. However, lack of sleep takes a toll on our skin. It enhances puffiness, dryness, and texture imperfections leading to more noticeable fine lines and wrinkles.?

Finally, reduce daily environmental toxins, which include habits such as smoking and alcohol consumption. ?Every time you light a cigarette,? says Dr. Channing Barnett, ?you inhale hundreds of known toxins and carcinogens that can damage your health and visibly impact your skin. We are all familiar with the smoker?s lines that form around the mouth that can be very difficult, time-consuming and expensive to treat. Better to avoid them all together!?
