      <Abstract>This paper presents a novel machine learning-based system for predicting safe food consumption windows. By integrating environmental factors, cooking methods, and storage conditions, our system dynamically estimates food safety durations. Using a Gradient Boosting Regressor model, the system achieves robust performance (with a mean absolute error of approximately &amp;plusmn;2.3 hours and an R&amp;sup2; score of 0.89) across diverse storage scenarios. In addition, the full-stack implementation&amp;mdash;featuring a Next.js frontend and a Flask API backend&amp;mdash;facilitates real-time predictions and user-friendly data entry. This approach has significant potential to reduce foodborne illness risks while optimizing storage practices.</Abstract>
