FIFO… First In – First Out. The term First In, First Out is a handy way to remember that the food that has been bought in first needs to be consumed first. This is so that everything is used when it is at maximum freshness and there are no nasty surprises from using out of date food that may have gone off. As well as keeping everyone safe, FIFO also avoids food wastage.
