Page 31. https://www.fda.gov/media/164194/download (Accessed on 11/13/2023): Product rotation is important for both quality and safety reasons. First-In-First Out (FIFO) means that the first batch of product prepared and placed in storage should be the first one sold or used. Date marking foods as required by the Food Code facilitates the use of a FIFO procedure in refrigerated, ready-to-eat, TCS foods. The FIFO concept limits the potential for pathogen growth, encourages product rotation, and documents compliance with time/temperature requirements. .
