Tips
  • Keep refrigerated and tightly covered.
  • Sour cream that has been continuously refrigerated will usually keep for about 10-14 days after the "sell by" date on the package.
  • If sour cream develops an off odor, flavor or appearance, it should be discarded; if mold appears, discard the entire package.
  • Sour cream does not freeze well.
