Common questions
How long does vegan Cheddar cheese last in the fridge?
4 months (3–7 days once opened) in the refrigerator at 40°F (4°C) or below, according to USDA FoodKeeper data.
How can I tell if vegan Cheddar cheese has gone bad?
Throw it out if you see mold, a slimy texture, an off smell or an odd color. For anything perishable, go by the storage time rather than smell: bacteria that cause food poisoning don't usually change how food looks or smells.
