Expiration & Storage Tips
When does sandwich thin expire?
Unopened sandwich thins, if kept at room temperature, can last up to a week past their printed 'best by' date. Once the package is opened, it is best to consume them within a week. You can also freeze sandwich thins for up to three months. They don't take long to defrost either, simply leave them at room temperature for a few hours or pop them in the toaster for a quick defrost.
How do you tell if sandwich thin is bad?
When sandwich thins have gone bad, you'll notice a change in their color and smell. Look for any signs of mold, typically appearing as green or black spots. The bread may also take on an unpleasant, sour aroma. When in doubt, it's safest to throw them out.
Tips for storing sandwich thin to extend shelf life
• After opening, tightly reseal the packaging to help maintain freshness.
• Store at room temperature in a bread box or a cool, dry place. Avoid storing in the refrigerator as it can accelerate the staling process.
• Use a bread clip or twist tie to help keep the bag airtight.
• If you won't use them within a week, consider freezing. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or place in a freezer bag before freezing to prevent freezer burn.
• When using frozen sandwich thins, defrost only what you'll use to maintain the others' freshness.
