Question 1

When does Baby Cereal expire?

Accepted Answer

Unopened baby cereal usually lasts for about one to two years past the date printed on the packaging. This long shelf life is due to the dry nature of the product and the fact that it is sealed in an airtight package. However, once opened, the cereal should be consumed within a month for best quality. Storing the opened package in a cool, dark and dry location will help to maintain its freshness. If you decide to freeze baby cereal for later use, it can last for up to three months, but the texture may change slightly after defrosting.

Question 2

How do you tell if Baby Cereal is bad?

Accepted Answer

A clear sign that baby cereal has gone bad is if it develops an off smell or taste. Exposure to humidity or moisture can cause the cereal to smell musty or moldy. It might also develop an unpleasant chewy or stale consistency. If you notice any mould growth or if the cereal has been infested by bugs, discard it immediately.
