Perishable products are. Particularly perishable products are

perishable products

Perishable products of animal and vegetable origin contain a lot of moisture in their composition, which creates favorable conditions for the vital activity of microorganisms and the activation of enzymes, leading to rapid spoilage of products. Perishable products include meat and meat products, fish and fish products, poultry, caviar, cheeses, eggs, edible fats, fruits, berries, herbs, etc. Kvass and beer can be classified as perishable products.

The shelf life of perishable products is determined by the temperature conditions of storage. In large warehouses, bases, refrigerators, under conditions of controlled low temperatures and humidity, storage of perishable products can be quite long: meat can be stored under such conditions for up to 1.5 years, fish and butter up to 1 year. In trade enterprises and enterprises Catering the shelf life of perishable products is much shorter (Tables 1 and 2).

Chilled fish in stores is stored for no more than 2 days at t ° not lower than -2 ° in the same container in which it came from the supplier. Shelf life of frozen fish in glaciers, ice baths - up to 2 days, in refrigerators at t ° -5-6 ° - up to 15 days. Dairy products should be stored at t° from 0 to 8°. To especially perishable products include meat and fish semi-finished products and finished products, milk, lactic acid products, culinary products. For especially perishable products, even more stringent storage conditions are established with sharply shortened sales periods (Table 3).

Storage finished products allowed on condition that they are cooled to a temperature not higher than 8 °; storage of meat and fish semi-finished products, milk, lactic acid products, products from by-products and blood is allowed provided that they are immediately cooled after production to a temperature not exceeding 6 ° and kept at a temperature not exceeding 8 ° for the specified time of their stay at the place of storage, transportation and implementation.

The established terms for the sale of perishable products intended for direct sale are considered from the moment the manufacturing process is completed. finished products at the enterprise and include the time spent by products in transit, storage in warehouses and bases of the distribution network, as well as the time spent by perishable products in stores or public catering establishments before being released to consumers. For each batch of especially perishable products, the enterprise must issue an invoice indicating the hour of production and the timing of its sale in accordance with the current sanitary rules.

Terms and Definitions

Shelf life of food products - a limited period of time during which food products must fully meet the requirements usually imposed on them in terms of organoleptic, physico-chemical indicators, including nutritional value, and the requirements established by regulatory documents for the permissible content of chemical , biological substances and their compounds, microorganisms and other biological organisms that pose a danger to human health, as well as meet the criteria for functional purpose. Shelf life of food products - the period of time during which the products retain the properties established in the regulatory and / or technical documentation, subject to the storage conditions specified in the documentation (may not be final). Food storage conditions - optimal environmental parameters (temperature, ambient humidity, light regime, etc.) and handling rules (measures to prevent damage by pests, insects, rodents; measures to preserve the integrity of the package, etc.) necessary to ensure the safety of inherent food products of organoleptic, physico-chemical properties and safety indicators. Perishable are food products that require special temperature and/or other regimes and rules to maintain the quality and safety, without which they undergo irreversible changes that lead to harm to the health of consumers or deterioration. Perishable products include processed meat, poultry, eggs, milk, fish and non-fish species; flour creamy confectionery products with a mass fraction of moisture of more than 13%; creams and finishing semi-finished products, incl. on the vegetable oils; the drinks; vegetable processing products; fatty and fat-containing products, including mayonnaise, margarine; quick-frozen ready meals and semi-finished products; all types of preserves; thermized fermented milk products and sterilized dairy products.

The category of perishable products includes those that need special conditions for storage, transportation and sale. What products are perishable, how to properly store and transport them, read the article.

What does the expiration date on the package mean?

This is such a period of time during which all the properties of the product are stored. In short, this is a time-limited period of use of products. It is established by GOST, where the first date on the label indicates the manufacture of the product, and the second indicates its expiration date or the date after which the product irreversibly changes its properties and becomes unsuitable for consumption.

Classification by expiration date

On this basis, all products are divided into the following types:

    Highly perishable products are products that cannot be stored in conditions that do not support low temperatures. Their shelf life is limited. These products can be stored for six to seventy-two hours.

    Perishable product - with a shelf life of three to thirty days at a temperature not exceeding six degrees.

    Non-perishable - such products can be stored without observing the temperature regime for a month or more. Under the condition of storage, the sun's rays on the products and humidity are taken into account.

What foods are considered perishable?

This category includes such products, the storage of which is possible subject to a special temperature regime. They need to be implemented in a short time. Conditions and terms of storage of different products differ.

Perishable products include:

  • Cheese, baked milk, cottage cheese with heat treatment. Their shelf life does not exceed five days.
  • Mixes of milk and boiled sausages in airtight packaging. They can be stored for ten days.

What are the most perishable products?

They are stored only in conditions with low temperatures. Particularly perishable products are:

  • Natural dairy products - can be stored for up to thirty-six hours. If the manufacturing technology provides for the addition of preservatives and vacuum packaging, then their shelf life is extended.
  • Chilled fish - up to twenty-four hours, provided that the temperature is from zero to minus two degrees.
  • Meat products - no more than forty-eight hours.
  • Frozen fish - at the same temperature as chilled, only its shelf life is forty-eight hours.
  • Dressed salads - up to twelve hours.
  • Cakes - up to sixteen hours, cakes - up to seventy-two.

To save on long time foods that need to be frozen. Freezers are designed to store fish, meat, frozen fruits, vegetables, berries, mushrooms. But they are not stored indefinitely, the period of use also ends.

    Products must be sealed. For this purpose, special containers for freezing are suitable. They are easy to buy in the store, focusing on the type and quantity of the product.

    Portions should be made such that it is enough for one time. Do not defrost and refreeze food several times, especially meat or vegetables.

    Each perishable product must be marked with the date it was placed in the chamber. This is necessary in order to consume the product no later than two to three months from the moment of freezing. Longer storage times are not permitted.

For each type of food, they differ significantly. What is the shelf life of perishable foods in freezers?

  • sausage products and sauces are recommended to be stored for no more than two months;
  • frozen raw meat can be stored for a long time, a whole year;
  • meat and poultry, chopped into pieces - up to nine months;
  • semi-finished products, fish and chopped meat– about four months.

Individual products after defrosting lose their taste qualities. For example, milk and products of its processing, such as butter, cheese, sour cream, are also frozen, but the quality of their taste changes for the worse. If the shelf life of products has passed, and their smell, taste or appearance after defrosting is doubtful, it is better to throw everything away.

Shelf life of food in the refrigerator

This type of household appliances is designed to extend the shelf life of products and their freshness for a short time. What perishable foods are stored in the refrigerator? Here are some of them:

  • chilled meat, smoked sausage, milk, cream, fermented milk products - three days;
  • boiled sausage, chilled and fried fish - two days;
  • unseasoned salads - twelve hours;
  • ready-made dishes from vegetables - one day.

Confectionery stuffed with protein cream or fruits should be stored for no more than three days; from creamy - one and a half days; custard - six hours.

Storage conditions for perishable products, even in the refrigerator, are different.

The packaging must be sealed. For this purpose, containers, foil or paper are used. Polyethylene bags are not recommended.

Storage of perishable products is carried out depending on the location of the shelf in the refrigerator. The closer it is to the freezer, the colder it is.

Door shelves are considered the warmest place. Products with a shorter shelf life are placed on the top shelf, the rest - taking into account the increase in shelf life. The lower drawers are designed for fruits and vegetables and do not require wrapping.

How to protect yourself from the use of low-quality products?

When buying food products, you should pay attention to the expiration date indicated on the label.

A few tips regarding product quality:

  • You should buy perishable goods in the market in the morning before they melt.
  • When buying products in a store, you need to inspect the label for peeling off. If there are traces of glue, then the product was relabeled, as its expiration date has expired. You don't need to buy these products.
  • If any product smells bad, it is damaged, it should not be bought.
  • When the product is unpacked, the shelf life decreases. Therefore, it is better to eat it immediately or put it in the refrigerator for the short time indicated on the label.
  • If you have doubts about the quality of the product, it is better not to buy it.
  • If possible, arrange heat treatment for products.

Transportation of perishable products

Before proceeding with the transportation of this category of products, you need to know on what grounds they are classified. A perishable product can be of different origin:

  • vegetable - this category includes vegetables and fruits;
  • animal - fish, meat and milk;
  • products of their processing - sour-milk, sausage, fats.

According to the mode of transportation:

  • frozen - transportation is carried out at -6 ° C;
  • chilled - products are transported at a temperature of -5 o C.

Used to transport perishable goods different kinds transport, but in any of them there must be one temperature regime.

Specialized isothermal vehicles are vehicles with or without a trailer. The body walls, door, roof, floor are made of thermally insulating materials that limit heat transfer between two surfaces: external and internal. These include:

  • Glacier cars whose source of cold is ice of natural origin.
  • Refrigerated vehicles - have a refrigeration unit that allows you to maintain the temperature in a given mode.
  • Road trains, the bodies of which are divided into sections and equipped with refrigeration units. They have microprocessors that automatically regulate the temperature.

Each motor vehicle must meet hygiene requirements, for which the inner walls of the body have a treatable coating. Its disinfection is carried out at least once every ten days.

Marking

There is a huge variety of product names. Each of them has its own labeled packaging. It indicates how long the product is good for.

On the packaging of especially perishable products, the full date of manufacture is applied: time, day, month. Labeling of perishable products includes only the month and day. Non-perishable products are marked only with the month and year of manufacture.

Information about storage conditions must be indicated on the packaging. The packaging itself must be undamaged, uncontaminated, with a clear indication of the expiration date or date of manufacture.

For the consumer, the issue of perishable goods may not be of great importance. And in order not to purchase goods with an expired period of use, just look at the date of manufacture and shelf life. Mathematics, as you can see, is not difficult.

But for the seller, perishable product categories are a big problem. It is important to order such a volume of products so that it can be sold with minimal losses.

The other side of the issue lies in the fact that perishable products on store shelves are most often subject to inspections by supervisory authorities. And the presence of the notorious delay can become the basis for orders and penalties.

So, if we turn to the legal interpretation or definition of the concept of "perishable products", then the legislator refers them to a product category that requires special conditions for transportation and storage, as well as implementation strictly on time.

This definition is given by the 132nd Government Decree of 2010.

Certain moments of the turnover of perishable goods are regulated by the following regulations:

  • Decree of the Chief State Sanitary Doctor.
  • Sanitary and epidemiological rules and norms - SanPins.
  • State Standard of the Russian Federation No. 210-7548, which defines the list of such products.

In the philistine understanding, perishable products are products with a minimum shelf life, which also depend on the storage conditions and the commodity neighborhood.

Categorization of perishable products

In 2019, the State Standard indicated above remains valid, which defines the main categories of perishable product categories:

  • Vegetables in fresh, as well as puree from them.
  • Fresh fruits, puree and dough from them.
  • Mushrooms are fresh.
  • Fresh meat products, including lard, fats, endocrine and by-products.
  • Dairy products and live cheeses.
  • Eggs.
  • Fish products.

Special perish as a specific product category

Among such goods, sanitary standards distinguish a class of especially perishable. These include those that cannot be stored outside the cold, and at positive temperatures up to +5 degrees, the storage time varies from 6 to 72 hours and no more.

Storage conditions

If you are going to provide these products with long-term storage, then you will need to freeze them. Freezers can store almost all perishable foods listed above. But this cannot be done indefinitely, since the product has a period during which it must be used for food. But for a certain time it can be done, during this period the product will be fresh and usable. It is only necessary to observe some storage conditions:

  • It is necessary to ensure the tightness of the packaging. It is recommended to use special freezer containers for this. They are sold in stores.
  • Stored portions should be such that they are enough for one time when cooking. Why is that? It's just that perishables cannot be thawed and refrozen repeatedly. Especially if it is vegetables or meat.
  • Containers must be marked, indicating that it also contains the date of freezing. Then it will not be necessary to open and view it all the time.

How long can perish be stored

Each type of product has its own shelf life. Here's how much you can keep in the freezer:

  • Sausage products, sauces are stored for no more than 2 months.
  • Meat big chunks raw up to a year.
  • Meat and poultry, chopped into portioned pieces, store for about 9 months.
  • Semi-finished products, minced meat and fish - no more than 4 months.

You must be prepared for the fact that after defrosting, many products lose their original taste. In particular, milk and products made from it taste worse. Therefore, experts recommend getting rid of them if the shelf life has passed, and the taste and smell are in doubt.

Storing perishable foods at home

In everyday life, housewives also have to deal with perishable products. The only way to store them is in the refrigerator and freezer.

Frozen products are stored for a long time and from the perishable category they move to the class long-term storage(see above).

But there are products and dishes from them, the freezing of which is impractical, because after it they change their taste. Salted, smoked or marinated meat products and some types of sausages can be excluded from this list.

Here is a list of products and dishes that are stored chilled, that is, outside the freezer:

  • Vegetable and meat salads without dressing - no more than 12 hours.
  • Chilled meat, fish, smoked meats - no more than 3 days.
  • Sour-milk products, milk, cream, cheeses - no more than 3 days.
  • boiled, fried, vegetable stew- no more than 24 hours.
  • Ready meals from meat, fish - no more than 48 hours.

In a separate category can be distinguished dishes from fresh fruit, for example, fruit desserts and salads - no more than 10 hours. Fresh fruits, depending on the type and variety, can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Up to 5 days you can store green apples, avocados, limes, oranges, pineapples, but subject to the rules of the commodity neighborhood. It is best to store fruit on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator without plastic bag in glass container without cover. Bananas, tangerines, plums, apricots, peaches are stored for no more than 2 days. Dani and watermelons in cut form can also be stored for no more than a day, while maintaining the integrity of the peel - no more than 3-5 days.

How to protect yourself

When purchasing perishable products, follow these rules:

  • If you buy them in the market, then try to do it in the morning.
  • In the store, look at the label to see if it has been re-glued. This happens sometimes. This means that the product is expired.
  • After unpacking, the shelf life is reduced significantly. This is usually also indicated on the packaging.
  • If possible, process the products thermally.

Most families spend up to 50% of their income on food, if you make a rough estimate. In addition, you need to pay utility bills, transport, and all other mandatory items. And in the end - again no money. And the circle is closed, because every time the situation repeats itself. But there is a solution: the most significant expense item can be reviewed and understood that the list of products for the month and other really necessary goods can significantly save a significant part of the budget.

How does the “dispersal of funds” work?

We often go to the grocery store. This is inevitable, because nutrition is a primary human need. But how do we do it? We allocate a day or part of it, take a bundle of money or a card on which all the savings are located, go to the supermarket and humbly follow the route that marketers have laid out for us. Of course, we collect along the way everything that is needed and not needed. Pleasant music and aromas from the counters beckon to put more and more into the basket, this and that. At the exit, when parsing the basket, sometimes we begin to doubt: why did I take this? But no one wants to go and take "it" back. As a result, we get up to 70% of the total mass of “extra products”, and the overpayment for them reaches 100% of extra rubles. So a significant part of our family budget floats away from us.

Sometimes, of course, you want to buy products “for the soul”, and this needs to be done, but it is important to know the measure and understand when to stop. To do this, there are several simple ways to reduce monthly expenses without losing nutritional quality.

Cunning tricks

As you know, demand creates supply, but sometimes it happens that the latter is not so in demand. For Food Industry this is especially characteristic: enterprises produce more and more new types of products, both useful and unhealthy, but it is not always possible to sell the goods produced on time. This results in losses either for the plant or for the seller. To stimulate sales and prevent spoilage of all sorts of things, stores and businesses create different offers that are difficult to refuse.

  1. Stock. When they are held, they often either reduce the prices of products, or offer to buy 2 and get 1 product as a gift. Many fall for this trick: while it's cheap, you have to take it. But is what you buy always necessary? You can, of course, take something “on the hunt”, but you should not buy everything in a row that the offers apply to. A promotion can also be useful: if you need a specific item, such as a pack of butter or a pack of sugar, why not get them at a discounted price?
  2. Sales. Usually in this way they get rid of products whose expiration date is at the limit or ends in the next month or two. There is the same recommendation here: if the product does not raise doubts that you will use it in the near future, and it will not have time to deteriorate, take it, but consider the quantity. Also, sales are arranged when a store purchases a large batch of something.
  3. Thoughtful structure of the supermarket hall. It's an art to get the customer to fill the basket with different products before he gets to the important shelf with bread, milk or meat.
  4. Selling at a speculative price periodically held in our time, and such events have an incredible success. You can remember how recently buckwheat cost about 100 rubles / kg. It would seem, who will take? But the people of the generation that caused the war and famine literally swept it off the shelves. Many were driven by fear that it would be even more expensive in the future.

Taken together, these activities are enormously enriching the seller and drain your budget, especially if you have an active consumer psychology.

There is an exit

To stop constantly buying junk and start saving, make it a habit to make a grocery list for a month or a week. Practice shows that people who know what they came to the store for rarely gain too much. To do this, it is enough to make a list of food products that need to be purchased. It would seem that a simple piece of paper, but it works flawlessly and, if it does not exclude unnecessary products in the basket, then it reduces their number to a minimum.

In addition, go to the supermarket after eating - this way you will not think about hunger, but fill the baskets with only the necessary goods.

How to compose

Of course, for each family the list of consumed products is different. A universal way of transferring for everyone can be a regular sheet of paper attached to the refrigerator with a magnet. For the first time, go around all your stocks, make a list of everything that is missing: food, household items. With such a list, go to the store or the market and fill your bins with everything you need.

Then just get into the habit of immediately writing down your needs: half a bottle of oil left - recorded, pasta is running out - on the list. Etc. Thus, you can not only buy products according to the list, but really buy what you need.

If there is a need to save money, sign approximate prices for products, study the cost of goods in different outlets. Advertising signs, TV ads, handing out leaflets - you can find out about the availability of shares everywhere.

On the eve of holidays and large feasts, think over the menu in advance, add the necessary items to the list.

There is a modern alternative to the paper list - smartphone apps also allow you to make lists. You definitely won’t forget this one at home, but how convenient is it to fill it? Perhaps it just takes getting used to.

Take a look in the fridge

It often happens: a tail of sausage was left after breakfast, packed it and put it in the refrigerator. Then we went to the store and bought fresh. Of course, the rest was safely forgotten. And this happens everywhere - in almost every refrigerator you can find products that have already been forgotten, and they have become unsuitable for food: trimmings or whole pieces of cheese, fruits / vegetables, jars with blanks, bottles with sauces. In other words, everything related to perishable products and not subject to long-term storage.

A common consumer mistake: I’ll take more and eat deliciously. But either they don’t have time to eat, or the product bothers. And the purchases of such items do not stop.

Conduct a periodic audit of the refrigerator: this is where perishable items of the diet are stored. Determine what is no longer in demand, and stop buying this product.

Make a monthly diet

Monthly expenses can be significantly reduced if you know which products you need to buy and which you should refuse, not only to save money, but also to maintain health. There is a basic list of products for a month that must be present in the hostess's kitchen. They can be divided into groups:


This is a basic list of products, the presence of which will allow you to cook a variety of healthy dishes. Of course, not every family is in demand for buckwheat, somewhere they do not eat onions or potatoes. Therefore, there is no single list for all.

And it's okay if something was not taken into account when compiling the list - you can always buy what you need, because you will not go for bread only once a month.

Make blanks

Many products for subsequent cooking can be made independently, they will be much more useful and safer than factory ones: manufacturers almost everywhere use flavoring additives and seek to reduce the cost of semi-finished products by including additional, cheaper components, such as meat and meat products. Cutlets, meatballs, minced meat, meatballs - all this is sold at a price higher than a kilogram of fresh raw materials, lower only in cases where the composition is highly diluted. Therefore, meat products can be prepared independently from a single piece purchased at a retail outlet: by purchasing the product once and spending time on processing, you have freezer the whole arsenal of favorite semi-finished products, while knowing what it all consists of.

Many manage to prepare vegetable and meat broths, having previously cooked and cooled them. The idea is great: in situations where you need to cook something quickly, these products are just a lifesaver!
