Ingredients

150 things worth keeping, with UK pack sizes, the storage that actually matters, and a shelf life for 138 of them taken from a named source rather than estimated. Where a figure could not be sourced it is left blank, which is the honest state and not an oversight.

Shelf life figures are for unopened packs stored as the label says, and are a planning guide rather than a promise. The answer for a pack you already own is the date printed on it.
