Here are our recommendations, but please always inspect food for freshness as you would any perishable, fresh food or 'leftover':
- Sealed, unopened containers can stay refrigerated for 4 weeks. Be sure to mark on the container the date in which it was thawed so you can keep track of the 4 week timeline.
- Once the seal is opened (but no licked spoon has been introduced), keep refrigerated and consume within 24 hours.
- Once a licked spoon has been introduced to the meal, keep refrigerated and consume within 12 hours. Bacteria is introduced to the container when a licked spoon is put back into the meal.
