How long does Chachies last in the refrigerator?
This question has two answers. First, if the package is unopened it will be good for (at least) 2-3 weeks after the date on the bottom. We’ve found that the tomatoes lose some of their texture after about 90 days from production (which is what the sell-by date reflects), so that’s when we generally feel the product has lost its “edge”. We’ve tested it in the lab, however, and it’s safe to eat as long as it hasn’t been left out too long or otherwise affected. The second part of the answer is how long Chachies lasts after opening. As with any mixture of fresh vegetables (such as you would make at home), the product will begin to lose texture and its “bright” flavor notes after about 20 or so days. Let your palette be the guide. Again, there’s no health problem, just a question of when you feel it’s not as good as when you first opened it. Please be sure to keep Chachies cold and avoid contaminating it (e.g. double dipping ).
