Food Storage & Identification

Food Storage Bags & Food Safety Labels

Good food storage is about more than simply putting ingredients into a container. Food needs to be suitably protected, easy for staff to identify and managed as part of an effective stock rotation system.

Our range of food bags and food labels provides practical solutions for storing, separating and identifying food in professional catering and food production environments.

01

Food Bags for Storage & Preparation

Food bags provide a convenient way to store and organise ingredients, prepared foods and portions. Different types of bags can be used for everyday food storage, portion control, preparation and freezer storage, depending on the individual product.

Using suitable bags can also make it easier to separate ingredients and organise food during storage, particularly in busy kitchens where multiple products are being prepared and stored at the same time.

Always check the individual product specification to ensure a bag is suitable for your intended use and storage conditions.

02

Date Coding, Food Rotation & Preparation Labels

Clearly labelling stored and prepared food helps staff understand what a product is, when it was prepared or opened and when it needs to be used.

Food rotation and date coding labels can support FIFO (First In, First Out) procedures by making older stock easier to identify and use first. This can improve stock control and help reduce unnecessary food waste.

Depending on the label, staff can record information such as the food or product name, preparation date, opening date, use-by or discard date and the person responsible.

Allergen & Food Identification Labels

Where different foods and ingredients are handled within the same kitchen or production environment, clear identification is particularly important.

Food identification and allergen labels can provide useful visual information for staff and support your wider procedures for managing food and allergens. They should be used alongside appropriate food safety procedures, accurate allergen information and staff training.

Buying Guide

Choosing Food Bags & Labels

Consider what the product will be used for before choosing your food bags or labels. For bags, think about the type of food, storage conditions, required size and whether the product will be refrigerated or frozen.

For labels, consider what information needs to be recorded, how long the label needs to remain in place and whether you require a permanent, removable or dissolvable label.

Combining appropriate food storage with a clear and consistent labelling system can make it easier for kitchen teams to manage food safely, maintain stock rotation and keep storage areas organised.
