How do I know if my Häagen-Dazs® product is at its best quality?
When kept at the recommended storage temperature, Häagen-Dazs products are excellent
through the "best before" date found on the package. A "best before" date is found on the
bottom of each carton and end flap of the bar packaging.

How should I serve my Häagen-Dazs® products?
To deliver the best flavor and texture, most Häagen-Dazs products should be allowed to soften
slightly before serving. Allow your products to soften at room temperature for approximately
10 minutes, depending on the actual room temperature and temperature of your freezer.

Can Häagen-Dazs® products be refrozen after they have been thawed?
No. Because we make Häagen-Dazs products in the most natural way possible, Häagen-Dazs
products should not be refrozen if thawed. Product thawing and refreezing can create large ice
crystals causing undesirable grainy/gritty texture and diminished quality.
