1. A "Best if Used By/Before" date indicates when a product will be of best flavor or quality.
It is not a purchase or safety date.

2. A "Sell-By" date tells the store how long to display the product for sale for inventory management.
It is not a safety date.

A “Use-By" date is the last date recommended for the use of the product while at peak quality.
It is not a safety date except for when used on infant formula.

4. A “Freeze-By” date indicates when a product should be frozen to maintain peak quality.
It is not a purchase or safety date.

For more information, visit USDA's website on Food Product Dating.

The novel Coronavirus (COVID-9) has resulted in a nationwide inventory shortage in health related products, like hand sanitizers, disinfectants wipes and sprays, masks, and soaps with uncertain delivery times. Further, the managing of increased volume may delay the delivery of non-health related products.

Please note, these health products that are marked as Out of Stock can still be ordered. They will be placed on backorder and we will continue to fulfill backorders on a first ordered, first shipped basis as soon as supplies become available.

Due to unusual order volumes, as well as market and supply volatility surrounding Coronavirus - wipes, disinfectants, soaps, sanitizers and masks are not returnable.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we do our best to supply you with the products that you need.

Like most responsible organizations, we at Guernsey Inc. are taking all necessary precautions as outlined by the CDC and learning as much as we can about the Corona Virus (COVID-19) in order to keep our families, coworkers and customers safe and healthy. We continue to monitor events as they unfold, and will modify our position as circumstances dictate.

Since we do have personal contact with our customers by virtue of our sales and delivery staff, we are acutely aware of how important it is to uphold a healthy organization across all spectrums. We are advising our personnel to maintain the obvious healthy hygiene habits and to engage in all of the normal flu avoidance practices. Further, we are refraining from any unnecessary group gatherings and minimizing contact with external sources for the time being.

Our facilities and vehicles are to be kept especially clean and disinfected at this time. Our employees understand that the least sign of symptoms of illness is reason to stay home and avoid the risk to their coworkers; in fact that is mandated.

As friendly a bunch as we are, we are avoiding the age old custom of shaking hands in favor of an elbow bump or simple wave until conditions change for the better. Our drivers, who are in constant public contact, have been instructed to exercise all of the usual precautions and maintain ‘social distancing’ when making deliveries.

After discussing this with our distribution staff, it was apparent that our drivers were already engaged in these risk mitigating activities as were most of our customers. This is an acknowledgement that generally, our citizenry is aware, understands and often reacts appropriately. Providing company policy just formalizes and refines what was already in motion with this type of thing.

Internally, we are facilitating a good flow of communication with our staff in order to keep them up to date and we will keep customers apprised of any updates as well.

Our company has been witness to many significant events in our 50 year history; this will be one of them and this too shall pass. We encourage our staff to remain positive and optimistic and work together to ride this out; both the biological and economic implications.
