Store News | What the harvest date on our produce means

You will find a harvest date printed on most of our produce bags, not just a shelf-life estimate.

A sell-by date tells you when a store plans to stop displaying something. A harvest date tells you how old the food actually is — a far more useful number when you are deciding what to cook first.

Where a grower cannot give us that date reliably, we say so on the shelf label instead of guessing.
