Shelf Life Tips

  • How long do breadsticks last? The precise answer to that question depends to a large extent on storage conditions - keep freshly baked breadsticks in a cool, dry area.
  • To maximize the shelf life of bakery-bought breadsticks, keep in original packaging and store at room temperature.
  • To maximize the shelf life of homemade breadsticks, cool thoroughly before storing and place in plastic storage bag or breadbox, or wrap in foil and store at room temperature.
  • Properly stored, breadsticks will last for about 4 to 5 days at normal room temperature.
  • How long do breadsticks last in the fridge? Breadsticks should ideally not be refrigerated, as the bread will dry out and become stale faster than at room temperature.
  • If you must refrigerate breadsticks (eg, due to a lack of pantry storage space or very hot, humid room conditions), the bread will typically last for only about 2-3 days before getting stale.
  • Can you freeze breadsticks? Yes, to freeze: Wrap tightly with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap, or place in heavy-duty freezer bag and freeze.
  • How long do breadsticks last in the freezer? Properly stored, they will maintain best quality for about 3 months, but will remain safe beyond that time.
  • The freezer time shown is for best quality only - breadsticks that have been kept constantly frozen at 0°F will keep safe indefinitely.
  • How to tell if breadsticks are bad or spoiled? The best way is to smell and look at the breadsticks: discard any breadsticks that have an off smell or appearance; if mold appears, discard the breadsticks.
