Informative systems and methods for perishable food storage

An informative food storage system, the system comprising:

• a client device comprising a scanning module, an upload module, and an informative engine;
• a server with a network link to the client device, wherein the server comprises a database;
• and
• a container comprising a scannable code,
• wherein the scannable code is recorded by a scanning module on the client device;
• wherein the informative engine:
• determines whether the scannable code is present in the database;
• when the scannable code is not present:
• receives description information from a user input of the client device, the information associated with the scannable code;
• determines an expiration date associated with the scannable code;
• and
• stores the scannable code, the associated information, and the expiration date in the client device;
• when the scannable code is present:
• retrieves the information associated with the scannable code;
• determines whether the expiration date associated with the scannable code is past a present date;
• alerts the user when the expiration date is past a present date;
• and
• displays the information in a user interface of the client device;
• wherein the upload module transmits the scannable code, the expiration date and the information associated with the scannable code to the server through the network link.
