Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Chicken Burger expire?
Unopened packages of chicken burgers should be used or frozen by the date printed on the package. Once opened, the chicken burgers should be consumed within 3-5 days. If you have frozen the chicken burgers, it's best to consume within 1-2 months to retain quality, although they will be safe to eat beyond this timeframe as long as they remain frozen.
How do you tell if Chicken Burger is bad?
A spoiled chicken burger can be identified in several ways. It may develop a dull color or a slimy texture. The burger might also have a foul or unusual odor. If you notice these signs or if the burger is past the expiration date, it’s better to be safe than sorry and discard it.
Tips for storing Chicken Burger to extend shelf life
• Always keep chicken burgers in the fridge at or below 40°F (4°C).
• If you don't plan on eating them within a few days, freeze them. Seal them in airtight containers or freezer bags prior to freezing.
• When defrosting, do so in the refrigerator or in a bowl of cold water. Avoid defrosting on the counter to prevent bacterial growth.
• Cook leftover burgers thoroughly before eating them again and consume leftovers within 3-4 days.
