What kind of label should be placed on last night's food?

The appropriate label to place on last night's food is the "1 day or end of day label." This label indicates that the food should be consumed or discarded within a limited timeframe, usually within the next 24 hours, to ensure food safety and maintain quality.

Last night’s food is typically considered ready-to-eat and is often meant for quick consumption. By using a 1 day or end of day label, staff can effectively manage food inventory and reduce the risk of serving food that is past its safe consumption period. This practice helps ensure that customers receive fresh products and aids in compliance with health and safety regulations regarding food storage and handling.

In contrast, options like the one week label would imply that the food can be safely consumed for a much longer period, which is not appropriate for food that was prepared and stored overnight. The frozen label would be relevant for food intended to be stored long term in a freezer, not for food that is meant for immediate consumption. Lastly, the expiration label is typically reserved for packaged products with sell-by or expiration dates, rather than freshly prepared foods.
