Common questions

How long does pimento cheese (packaged) last in the fridge?

Until package use-by date from the date of purchase. 4 weeks after opening.

How can I tell if pimento cheese (packaged) has gone bad?

Throw it out if it smells off, feels slimy or sticky, shows mold, or has changed color. Storage times assume it was handled safely and kept cold the whole time.
