Product Information >
Promise Dates
 
United Natural Foods has what we call a "Promise Date" for each category of product that we sell. The Promise Date refers to the time left before expiration at the time of delivery. Usually, you will receive products with well over the minimum days left. In the event that you receive a product that has less time before expiration than what is listed here you may call our claims department for a price adjustment.

Please note these are general guidelines. Some manufacturers may have different dating.

We are not able to provide you with information as to the specific dates on the products stored in our warehouse. Products "in slot" today are not necessarily part of the same lot that we will be shipping at the time your order is picked. In order to offer efficient and equal service to our customers, it is not possible for products to be "put aside."
