Shelf Life Tips

• Keep refrigerated and tightly covered.
• If processed cheese product develops an off odor, flavor or appearance, it should be discarded for quality purposes.
• Freeze in airtight containers or place in heavy-duty freezer bags.
• Frozen cheese product may lose some of its texture and flavor; the thawed cheese product will be best suited to cooked dishes, such as sauces, soups and casseroles.
• Freezer time shown is for best quality only — foods kept constantly frozen at 0° F will keep safe indefinitely.
