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

Hummus keeps for 10 days in the fridge, counted from when you buy it. That's SnapLarder's estimate for hummus in general. If the packet has a date, go by the packet: it's specific to that product.

How long does hummus last once opened?

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

Can you eat hummus after the use-by date?

No. A use-by date is about safety: don’t eat it after it, even if it looks and smells fine. If you can’t use it in time, you can freeze it up to the use-by date. If the packet says best before instead, that’s about quality: check it, and it’s often fine for a while after. Use by vs best before

Can you freeze hummus?

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