Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Blueberry Waffle expire?
Commercially packaged blueberry waffles that are unopened can typically last up to 2-3 weeks beyond the 'best by' date printed on the box if stored in the pantry. However, once opened, they should be enjoyed within 1 week. If you decide to freeze your blueberry waffles, they can last up to 1 year. Remember to mark the date of freezing just so you’ll not forget.
How do you tell if Blueberry Waffle is bad?
The best way to tell if your blueberry waffles have gone bad is by smell and appearance. If you notice an off smell, discoloration, or if there are any signs of mold, those are telltale signs that it's time to dispose of your waffles. Also, if the waffles have been in the fridge for over a week or the freezer for over a year, it's generally a good idea to discard them.
Tips for storing Blueberry Waffle to extend shelf life
• For optimum longevity, store your blueberry waffles in a cool, dry place like your pantry, away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
• Once you open the packaging, keep your waffles refrigerated, covered in a paper towel within an airtight container.
• If you plan to freeze your waffles, wrap each one individually in cling film or plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn and ensure that they retain their original shape and texture. They'll be ready to go whenever you need a quick snack!
• To defrost, leave the waffles in the refrigerator overnight or heat them directly from frozen in a toaster or microwave. To ensure even heating when using a microwave, it's a great idea to set the power level to 'defrost'.
