Frequently asked questions

Visit support page with manuals and guides

Stock rotation in food is the process of organising all your food items so the older ones are used up before newer ones, minimising waste and spoiled food. You wouldn’t open a new pack of cheese at home before using up the old one first, so it’s just the same in a commercial kitchen. This can sometimes also be known as the First In, First Out (FIFO) method.
Stock rotation is essential for a smooth-running kitchen. It limits food waste and makes sure use by labels (sometimes known as best before labels) are adhered to, as well as helping you to meet food safety label standards, stay in control of costs, and keep quality high. It’s also just a way to keep your kitchen in order – because no chef wants a disorganised cooking area!
FIFO refers to the First In, First Out method of stock rotation. Older items are placed at the front of the fridge or pantry, making sure they’re used up before new ones, in line with their expiry date labels. Our labels can include details like date of entry, expiry date, product name and barcodes, enabling you to use the FIFO method in your kitchen,
HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point. It’s a preventative approach to food safety and involves spotting potential hazards in the food production process, before implementing measures to control these hazards. Clear and effective food date labels are key to meeting HACCP standards.
Yes, Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points are a legal requirement for European food business operators. This law is enforced by health inspection officers who will audit a business's health and safety measures. A lack of clear date labels can result in a poor food hygiene score, fines or even closure.
