Stop out-of-date stock before it becomes a criminal offence.

Serve Legal’s Date Check Audits put an extra layer of protection around your operation. Our trained auditors visit your sites and carry out a detailed review of products on sale – chilled cabinets, frozen aisles, ambient shelves, promotional ends and back-of-house where appropriate. They locate and remove any out-of-date items, and flag short-dated stock that needs urgent action.

Every visit is recorded in a structured report showing where issues were found, which categories are most at risk and how individual sites compare. This gives you hard evidence of due diligence and a clear view of operational gaps long before an environmental health officer or trading standards team walks through the door.

We already run date-check programmes for major retail and hospitality clients across the UK and Ireland, helping them tighten store routines, reduce waste and avoid enforcement action.
