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

Tinned tomatoes keep for about 2 years in the cupboard, counted from when you buy them. That's SnapLarder's estimate for tinned tomatoes (canned tomatoes) in general. If the packet has a date, go by the packet: it's specific to that product.

How long do tinned tomatoes last once opened?

2 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.

Do tinned tomatoes have a use-by date?

Usually not. Tinned tomatoes normally carry a best-before date, which is about quality rather than safety. Stored as the label says, they’re usually still safe after it, though they may not be at their best. Use by vs best before

Can you freeze tinned tomatoes?

There's no need. Tinned tomatoes already keep for about 2 years in the cupboard.
