Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Chicken Roll Up expire?
Chicken roll ups typically last about 3-4 days in the fridge. Unopened and still in its original packaging, a store-bought chicken roll up would typically be safe to eat up until the 'use by' date printed on the package. Once opened or if it's homemade, consume within 3-4 days. If frozen, chicken roll ups can last up to 2-3 months.
How do you tell if Chicken Roll Up is bad?
To tell if a chicken roll up is no longer good to eat, you should first check for any mold or off-colors, which could indicate spoilage. If it looks okay, give it a sniff. If it smells sour or has an unpleasant odor, it's best not to take a risk, and discard it. Finally, if you're uncertain, take a small bite. If it tastes off or starchy, it's better to be safe and toss it away.
Tips for storing Chicken Roll Up to extend shelf life
• Make sure to store your chicken roll up in the refrigerator as soon as you can, preferably within two hours after purchase. Room temperature encourages bacterial growth.
• Store-bought chicken roll ups should always be kept in their original packaging until consumed. This packaging is designed to keep the food fresh for longer.
• If you've made your own chicken roll up, store it in a covered airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or aluminium foil.
• Don't forget to write the date on the package before you freeze it. This way you won't forget how long it's been in there!
