FOOD EXPIRY TRACKER
A food expiry tracker grounded in dates you enter
FridgeFox lets you add an optional expiry date to pantry ingredients and see which items need attention sooner. The date comes from you or the package—not from visual AI—and it is a prompt to inspect the food, label, and storage history. Recipe matches can help prioritize ingredients, but the app never makes a food-safety decision.

How does expiry tracking work?
Add a date when creating or editing an ingredient. The pantry groups that field into understandable states so a near date is easier to notice than it would be in a long spreadsheet.
Dates are optional because many staples do not need the same level of tracking. Start with opened dairy, leftovers, produce, and food that is repeatedly forgotten.
What does an expiry tracker not know?
A date alone cannot describe storage temperature, package condition, contamination, or whether a “best before” label is a safety deadline in your country. FridgeFox therefore avoids automatic disposal or freshness claims.
Use official local guidance for safety questions and record dates only as accurately as the source allows.
How can recipe matches help use food first?
Open the pantry before choosing dinner, note ingredients with nearer dates, and compare recipe matches that include them. A high match score still requires you to check the full recipe, quantities, allergens, and substitution choices.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions before you choose
Is this an expiry reminder app?
It is an expiry tracker. The current product surfaces date states in the app but does not promise push notifications.
Can FridgeFox read the date from packaging?
No. Add the printed or household date manually.
Does an overdue date mean food is unsafe?
Not necessarily. Date labels have different meanings, and safety depends on the food and storage conditions. Check the label and current local guidance.
