As a reminder to clients that have expiration dates on their products and need them to be recorded with their inventory, please review the following:
PRODUCTS WITH EXPIRATION DATES*
- Foods / Food Products
- Beverages
- Products Packaged with Food
- Vitamins
- Nutraceuticals
Perishable items are not allowed to be stored in our warehouse. Non-perishable items must be lot-controlled and more than 180 days from the expiration date at the time of receipt by EFS. EFS will accept items with a shorter expiration/shelf-life noted, however, they will be placed into a "Hurt" category until you confirm that it is acceptable to put them into saleable stock.
Required: SCANNABLE BARCODE LABEL, LOT #/EXPIRATION DATE, PROTECTIVE PACKAGING/SHRINKWRAP
*Any product with a Lot/Expiration Date must have that date clearly displayed. The expiration date must also be printed on the master carton in a font that is large enough to easily read (preferably 36 font or larger).
NOTE: If you require the lot #/expiration date to be noted in outgoing orders, you must have a scannable barcode on the outside of the item, in a barcode format accepted by EFS scanners.
Please note that if your products arrive without the above-referenced requirements, you will be charged $22.50 per half-hour to sort these items as needed.
If you have any questions about this announcement, please reach out to Customer Service or your Client Care Specialist via the Zendesk ticket system.
