Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Breakfast Bowl expire?
A store-bought breakfast bowl with ingredients like eggs, sausage, cheese, and potatoes will typically last for about 1 to 2 weeks in the refrigerator when unopened and it has not passed the 'use by' date printed on the packaging. Once opened, its best to consume it within 3 to 4 days. If you've frozen the breakfast bowl, this extends its shelf life to about 2 to 3 months.
How do you tell if Breakfast Bowl is bad?
To tell if a breakfast bowl has gone bad, please consider the following symptoms: an off smell is typically the first sign. Items in the bowl could also be slimy or mouldy, or the color may have faded or darkened. If any of these conditions apply to your breakfast bowl, toss it out immediately to avoid consuming spoiled food.
Tips for storing Breakfast Bowl to extend shelf life
• Always store your breakfast bowls in the refrigerator, never at room temperature.
• If you’re not planning to eat your breakfast bowl within a week, freeze it to extend its life. Just make sure to wrap it properly to avoid freezer burns.
• When defrosting, place it in the refrigerator overnight instead of leaving it out at room temperature to ensure it thaws safely.
• To retain freshness for longer, keep the bowl sealed until you're ready to consume it.
