How Long Can You Eat Peanut Butter After It Expires?
The shelf life of peanut butter varies depending on its packaging and storage conditions. Generally, an unopened jar of peanut butter can last for months past its expiry date if stored in a cool, dry place. However, once the jar is opened, it is recommended to consume the peanut butter within a few months and to store it in the refrigerator to extend its shelf life. If the peanut butter shows signs of spoilage such as a rancid smell, an off-color, or mold growth, it should be discarded immediately.
