Are there expiry dates for ice creams?

I havent seen any expiry date where the cones and cups and scoops are available. I think there are expiry dates on packets of frozen deserts. Or even on packed ice creams which we get from the shopping malls like candies and bars and cornettoes.

I'm guessing that you are not in the UK but regardless there really should be expiry dates on all foods and medicines.

I am a Quality Assurance Manager in a meat cutting plant and food safety is my job - it doesn't matter to me whether it's meat, ice cream or anything.

As a rule, if you have a freezer you should not keep anything for more than one year and if it malfunctions in that time and the food defrosts then you will need to use within three days.

Don't forget that ice cream is made from milk and so will naturally contain lysteria (not necessarily the nasty lysteria but it will be there nonetheless). And lysteria will survive freezing even though it won't multiply and hence won't become harmful but you wouldn't want to risk it.

I hope that you find this to be helpful - any food safety questions you are more than welcome to ask me.

I can't tell you because I have never look out for expiry date on an ice cream. Well, I think there will not be an expiry date if it is kept in Deep Freezer. I mean if anything remians at under -4 degree temparater, it never gets rotten, isn't ti?

Each and every food item has its expiry dates.One of my brother is in consumer department. He says that all items,specially the packed ones, for example,sauce,jams,jelly,candies,pickles,ice cremes,packed sweets and noodles has its expiry dates. But it differ from food to food. But in most of the time it is within one and half years from manufactured date.

yes everything comes with an expiry date and so does the icecreams!!beacause they are madeo f milk and other dairy product which tend to become sour after smoe time so that is why they are with an expiry date there is no such icecream which doesnt not come up with up!!so it is advisable to check the expiry datye1i wonder how come you have never sen any expiry date on an icecream its written always on top of them that when they were manufactured and when wil they expire!!

I don't know about the expired date of ice cream.I think they are not expired date but may be i think myself.I don't remark about them.
