Common questions

How long does pudding last in the fridge?

Until package use-by date. 2 days after opening.

Can you freeze pudding, and for how long?

Storing it in the freezer is not recommended.

How can I tell if pudding 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.
