SWISS CHEESE, SHREDDED OR SLICED, COMMERCIALLY PACKAGED — UNOPENED PACKAGE
Refrigerator
1 week after date on package
Freezer
3 months
Tips
Keep refrigerated; do not open package until ready to use.
If cheese develops an off odor, flavor or appearance, it should be discarded; if mold appears, discard the entire package.
To freeze, place original packaging in freezer; if freezing for longer than 2 months, place package inside a heavy-duty freezer bag in order to prevent freezer burn.
Frozen cheese may lose some of its texture and flavor; the thawed cheese will be best suited to cooked dishes, such as sauces, soups and casseroles.
Freezer time shown is for best quality only — foods kept constantly frozen at 0° F will keep safe indefinitely.
