Shelf Life Tips

• Store in cool, dry area.
• Discard all food from cans that are leaking, rusting, bulging or severely dented.
• Storage time shown is for best quality only — after that, the escargots' texture, color or flavor may change, but in most cases, they will still be safe to consume if they have been stored properly.
• “Best By,” “Best if Used By,” and “Use By” dates on commercially packaged foods sold in the United States represent the manufacturer's estimate of how long the product will remain at peak quality — in most cases, the unopened escargots will still be safe to consume after that date, as long as they have been stored properly and the package is not damaged.
