 How long does whipping cream last?
How long does an 8oz carton of whipping cream last in the fridge?
I've noticed that the exp dates on dairy products are longer the higher the fat content. In other words, nonfat milk has the shortest, 1% milk a little longer, 2% longer, and so on, and heavy cream the longest with an exp date of several weeks in the future from when you buy it.
But according to the fightbac.org website, (I'd post the full URL, but I'm a noob so the forum rules won't let me) cream only lasts for 3-4 days. Does it make a difference whether the carton has been opened or not? I'm just trying to understand why they say only 3-4 days. |
