Shelf Life Tips

  • Keep refrigerated.
  • Cream that has been continuously refrigerated will usually remain drinkable for about 3 to 4 days after the "sell by" date on the package.
  • To freeze, pour into airtight container; thaw in refrigerator.
  • Frozen cream will not whip well when thawed and is best used in cooked dishes.
  • Freezer time shown is for best quality only — foods kept constantly frozen at 0° F will keep safe indefinitely.
