Shelf Life Tips

  • How long does frozen succotash last? The precise answer to that question depends to a large extent on storage conditions - keep succotash frozen at all times.
  • Properly stored, frozen succotash will maintain best quality for about 12 months in the freezer, although it will usually remain safe to eat after that.
  • Is frozen succotash safe to eat after the expiration date on the package? Yes, if properly stored - commercially frozen succotash will typically carry a “Best By," "Best if Used By," “Best Before”, or "Best When Used By" date but this is not a safety date, it is the manufacturer's estimate of how long the frozen succotash will remain at peak quality.
  • How long will frozen succotash remain safe to eat? Frozen succotash that has been kept constantly frozen at 0°F will keep safe indefinitely, as long as it has been stored properly and the package is not damaged.
  • How to tell if frozen succotash is no longer good? If dry spots or discoloration have developed on the frozen succotash, freezer burn has begun to set in - this will not make the succotash unsafe to eat, but it will harm the texture and taste.
