Expiry Checklist Generator
Make a simple routine for the team to check dates and record follow-up. Choose a frequency and categories, then print or download a CSV copy. The checklist is a blank template, not a record of checks completed.

Common questions
Does the checklist automatically alert staff?
No. The free template is a manual checklist. The signed-in ShelfAhead app tracks batches and shows dates that need attention.
What should happen to past use-by food?
Remove it from sale and follow local food safety guidance and your store procedure. A checklist does not determine product safety.
