Opening never extends a date: if the packet date comes sooner, go by that. Estimates for quality, not a safety ruling. What the dates mean

Bagels keep for 6 days in the cupboard, counted from when you buy them. That's SnapLarder's estimate for bagels in general. If the packet has a date, go by the packet: it's specific to that product.

How long do bagels last once opened?

4 days. Opening never extends a date: if the date on the packet comes sooner, go by that. Check the label, too: some products need to go in the fridge once opened.

Can you freeze bagels?

Yes. Bagels keep for about 6 months in the freezer. Freeze them before the date on the packet, defrost them in the fridge, and use them within 2 days of thawing.
