Which is a condition that should be considered when purchasing food that is safe?

Check the sell-by date before buying food and choose products whose date has not passed. An expired sell-by date can be a warning that the food may no longer be safe or of good quality. Fruits can be sold prewashed, nutrition labels are useful rather than a safety problem, and meat packaging should keep the meat protected—not allow air to circulate.
