Dairy & Eggs

Sour cream

Fridge (4°C / 40°F)

1–3 weeks after opening

Freezer (−18°C / 0°F)

Not recommended — it separates

Store it right

  • Store on a shelf, not the door.
  • Scoop with a clean spoon and reseal.

Signs it has gone off

  • Mould specks of any colour.
  • Sharp, yeasty smell.
  • Curdled, chunky texture beyond a little liquid on top.

Never taste food to test it — a small bite is enough to make you ill.
