临期食品的“便宜”能捡吗？

不论是线下超市还是线上网店，打折促销临期食品已经成为一个热门趋势。很多超市专门设置了临期食品专柜，还出现了专门销售临期食品的小超市。那么很多人要问了：临期食品安全吗？这个“便宜”能捡吗？

Whether it is an offline supermarket or an online shop, discounts and promotions of impending food have become a hot trend. Many supermarkets have set up special counters for temporary foods, and there have also been small supermarkets specializing in selling temporary foods. So many people have to ask: Is the food safe during the period? Can this "cheap" be picked up?

临期食品是指即将到达食品保质期，但仍在保质期内的食品。2012年1月27日，国家市场监督管理总局发文明确要求，食品经营者对即将过期的食品应向消费者做出醒目提示。也就是说，到了保质期临界期限的食品，需要告知顾客并单独出售。

Temporary food refers to food that is about to reach the shelf life of the food but is still within the shelf life. On January 27, 2012, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued a document clearly requiring that food operators should make eye-catching reminders to consumers about food that is about to expire. In other words, foods that have reached the critical expiration date need to be notified to customers and sold separately.

北京市工商局也向外界公布了“食品保质期临界”的6级标准：

The Beijing Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce also announced to the outside world the 6-level standard for "critical food shelf life":

1.标注保质期1年或更长的，临界期为到期前45天（比如罐头、糖果、饼干等）。

1. If the shelf life is 1 year or longer, the critical period is 45 days before the expiration date (such as cans, candies, biscuits, etc.).

2.标注保质期6个月到不足1年的，临界期为到期前20天（比如方便面、无菌包装的牛奶果汁之类）。

2. If the shelf life is 6 months to less than 1 year, the critical period is 20 days before expiration (such as instant noodles, aseptic packaged milk juice, etc.).

3.标注保质期90天到不足半年的，临界期为到期前15天（比如一些真空包装并冷藏的熟食品，速食米饭之类）。

3. If the shelf life is 90 days to less than half a year, the critical period is 15 days before expiration (for example, some vacuum-packaged and refrigerated cooked food, instant rice, etc.).

4.标注保质期30天到不足90天的，临界期为到期前10天（比如一些灭菌包装的肉食品，鲜鸡蛋等）。

4. If the shelf life is 30 days to less than 90 days, the critical period is 10 days before expiration (such as some sterilized packaged meat products, fresh eggs, etc.).

5.标注保质期16天到不足30天的，临界期为到期前5天（比如酸奶、一些点心等）。

5. If the shelf life is 16 days to less than 30 days, the critical period is 5 days before expiration (such as yogurt, some snacks, etc.).

6.标注保质期少于15天的，临界期为到期前1~4天（比如牛奶、活菌乳饮料、主食品、未灭菌熟食、未灭菌盒装豆制品等）。

6. If the shelf life is less than 15 days, the critical period is 1 to 4 days before the expiration (such as milk, live bacteria milk beverage, main food, unsterilized cooked food, unsterilized boxed soy products, etc.).

临期食品不就是快要过期的食品吗？买东西的时候，人们更多习惯挑选日期新鲜的，还会有人故意去买临期的？虽说价格优势很吸引人，但吃了不会有什么问题吗？很多人最担心的，就是临期食品的安全性问题。

Isn't the temporary food the food that is about to expire? When buying things, people are more accustomed to picking new dates, and some people will deliberately buy impending ones? Although the price advantage is very attractive, will it be a problem if you eat it? Many people are most worried about the safety of temporary food.

首先，临期食品不是过期食品，它属于安全食品的范围。临期食品是可以吃的。它只是快要到保质期了，但还在保质期内，只要储存得当，食品的品质是有保障的。况且，不少食品就算是超过了保质期，也还可以吃。

First of all, impending food is not expired food, it belongs to the scope of safe food. Temporary food is edible. It is just about to reach its expiry date, but it is still within its expiry date. As long as it is stored properly, the quality of the food is guaranteed. Moreover, many foods can still be eaten even after the expiry date.

食物大体上可以分为两类：长保质期食物和短保质期食物。长保质期食物一般可以存放几个月到几年不等。即便到了保质期，只要储藏条件符合要求同时没有开封，且外观看起来没有明显变化，还是能安全食用的。特别是那些保质期较长的真空包装粮食、罐头、方便面、饼干之类。

Food can be roughly divided into two categories: long shelf life food and short shelf life food. Foods with long shelf life can generally be stored for several months to several years. Even after the expiration date, as long as the storage conditions meet the requirements and the package is not opened, and the appearance does not appear to change significantly, it can still be eaten safely. Especially those vacuum-packed grains, canned food, instant noodles, biscuits and the like with a long shelf life.

而鲜牛奶、新鲜果汁、现做蛋糕或面包、冷鲜肉等短保质期食物，通常需要冷藏保存，保质期一般在3~30天不等。这类食物的保质期通常比较严格，只要过了保质期，微生物超标的风险会增加，那就不要吃了，这一类的临期食品也请谨慎购买。

Fresh milk, fresh juice, freshly made cakes or bread, cold meat and other short-life foods usually need to be stored in refrigeration, and the shelf-life generally ranges from 3 to 30 days. The shelf life of this type of food is usually strict. As long as the shelf life is over, the risk of microbes exceeding the standard will increase, so don't eat it. Please also purchase this type of impending food with caution.
