When does Cheesecake expire?

Accepted Answer

Unopened store-bought cheesecake can last up to 7 days past the printed date on package if it has been properly refrigerated.

Question 10

How do you tell if Cheesecake is bad?

Accepted Answer

If the cheesecake develops a sour smell or if there is visible mold present, it’s a clear sign the cheesecake has gone bad. Also, if you notice that the cheesecake has a dull appearance or it has become overly soft, it’s probably not good to eat anymore. Cheesecake should always have a bright, fresh-looking color and a firm, smooth texture. It's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to food safety.

Tips for storing Cheesecake to extend shelf life
