Like a lot of other grains, it usually has a best by date and not an expiration date. Because of this distinction, you may safely use stuffing to compliment your favorite meals even after the best before has lapsed.
How to tell if Stuffing is bad, rotten or spoiled?
Practicing proper hygiene and food safety techniques will help prevent foodborne illness.
Although not a perfect test, your senses are usually the most reliable instruments to tell if your stuffing has gone bad. A common trait of bad stuffing is a sour smell, because the meat juices that soaked into the stuffing during cooking will begin to spoil first.
There are, of course, certain health risks associated with spoiled foods so always remember to practice food safety and enjoy your foods before their shelf life has expired!
How to store Stuffing to extend its shelf life?
You can keep prepared stuffing fresh longer by storing in an air tight container in the refrigerator after it has been cooked.
Note: It is not recommended to make it before you need it, and never stuff a turkey until just before cooking time.
Some benefits of proper food storage include eating healthier, cutting food costs and helping the environment by avoiding waste.
