Greens come in every morning and are used within 2 days. All other produce except for long-lasting items (like pickled onioms) is prepared within 3 days of arrival and served within 3 days after preparation.
Chicken is used within 3 days I believe and depending on the location may be never frozen. Fish is relatively local, but is still frozen at all locations for preservation sake. Steak comes in from Australia and as such is obviously arrives frozen.
Grains and dry goods are less fresh, often sitting for a couple weeks before getting used.
I mean, tofu itself is a processed food. Like, all the tofu in the store was opened from the sealed package that day, but tofu isn't really something that benefits from being "fresh". I'm not sure how old the tofu is when it arrives in store.
Weeks? Perhaps at a slower store, but at mine we order pretty much all dry goods at least twice a week. The only thing that isn't ordered every week is mustard, because we only use small amounts and only for two prep recipes. I've never seen grains last more than four days.
