Common questions
How long does tofu last in the fridge?
1 week from the date of purchase.
Can you freeze tofu, and for how long?
Yes. 5 months from the date of purchase.
How can I tell if tofu 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.
