ANSWERS: 1

* Check "use by" dates on baby foods. If the date has passed, throw it out. * Check to see that the safety button in the lid is down. If the jar lid doesn't "pop" when opened, or is not sealed completely, don't use it. * Don't heat baby foods in jars in the microwave. The heat is uneven and can produce "hot spots" that can scald the baby's mouth and throat. Storage of opened or freshly made baby food: * Store strained fruits and vegetables for 2-3 days in the refrigerator or for 6-8 months in the freezer. * Store strained meats and eggs for 1 day in the refrigerator or for 1-2 months in the freezer. * Store meat and vegetable combinations for 1-2 days in the refrigerator or for 1-2 months in the freezer. source: http://msucares.com/health/food_safety/foodfaq61.html
