Safety Tips: Part II
December 30, 2008
How long can you store your food? This is a much asked question and the shelf life of some foods has been discussed here.
Kegs
Do not worry. You can enjoy your keg for a whole month after you have opened it, provided you keep in a cool dry place. If still in doubt, check the expiry date on the keg.
Raw bacon
If you refrigerate a sealed pack, it will last about a week. If you want it to last longer then freeze it, and then you can keep it for a month.
An open pack of hot dogs
If you store them in a sealed container, they will last for up to seven days in the fridge and a month in the freezer.
An open bottle of wine
It will last no more than a day. Red wine will last a little bit longer than white, but both tend to oxidise rapidly once opened. You can store it for another week if you cork it and refrigerate it.
Bottle of vodka
Here is a breather for you. Keep it as long as you like, it won’t go bad like wine. Just keep it out of bright light.
Condiments
When refrigerated, opened ketchup, jams and jellies stay for about six months, mustard and soy sauce go a little longer for an year. Mayo and barbecue will last only two months whereas salsa should go in about a month.
Leftover takeout
It is worthless after two hours, if kept at room temperature. However in the fridge it will last for three or four days.
Chocolate
It lasts for about eight months and if kept in a tightly sealed pack, it will be good to go for about a year.
Bottled beer
The type of beer you have chooses this. Usually beers have freshness dates, so be sure to check them.
Cooked pasta
It stays edible for up to four days when refrigerated and for three months if frozen.
Hard-boiled eggs
These should last no more than seven days even if refrigerated.
Time to clean your fridge
Now that you know that most of the food sitting in your fridge can’t be eaten, clean it up and as far as possible, eat the food fresh.
