Honey

As bought, in the cupboardabout 3 years

Once openedabout a year

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

Honey keeps for about 3 years in the cupboard, counted from when you buy it. That's SnapLarder's estimate for honey in general. If the packet has a date, go by the packet: it's specific to that product.

How long does honey last once opened?

About a year. Opening never extends a date: if the date on the packet comes sooner, go by that.

Does honey have a use-by date?

Usually not. Honey normally carries a best-before date, which is about quality rather than safety. Stored as the label says, it’s usually still safe after it, though it may not be at its best. Use by vs best before

Can you freeze honey?

There's no need. Honey already keeps for about 3 years in the cupboard.
