Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Cheese Spread expire?
Unopened cheese spread can last for about 3 to 4 months past the printed date on the package when stored in the refrigerator. Once opened, it will last for about 3 weeks if properly refrigerated. For cheese spread that has been frozen, it can last about 6 to 8 months. However, freezing can somewhat change its texture and taste, so it's best consumed fresh from the fridge.
How do you tell if Cheese Spread is bad?
If your cheese spread has gone bad, you'll typically notice a few clear signs. For one, any strong, sour, or unpleasant odors are a big red flag. Bread mould, which is usually blue, green, or white, growing on the surface of the cheese spread is another clear sign that it has spoiled. The texture of the cheese spread can also change when it goes bad; it may become harder and less spreadable or it may become slimy or watery. Finally, if you notice a change in its color, such as a darkening or browning, it's time to throw it out.
Tips for storing Cheese Spread to extend shelf life
• Always store your cheese spread in the refrigerator when not using it. • Seal the cheese spread container tightly after every use to keep air from getting in. • If you won’t be using the cheese spread for a while, you can freeze it to extend its shelf life. Just make sure to thaw it in the refrigerator before use. • To prevent contamination, always use clean utensils when scooping cheese spread.
