FoodKeeper-based refrigerated planning reference
How long do raspberries last in the fridge?
Well Stockd’s curated reference uses about 3 days refrigerated for raspberries, assuming a refrigerator kept at 40°F (4°C) or below. This is a planning estimate drawn from the app’s FoodKeeper/FSIS-based catalog, not a package date or a safety guarantee.
Unopened, opened, and frozen
The single fridge number above is a planning figure. Most of the questions people actually ask about raspberries turn on whether the package has been opened, so those windows are listed separately here.
- Unopened
- 2 to 3 days refrigerated — among the most perishable fruit in the fridge
- Opened or cut
- Same window; wash only at the point of eating
- Freezer
- About 300 days at best quality. Frozen food stays safe indefinitely at 0°F; the window is about texture and flavour.
- How to store it
- Unwashed, single layer, vented container. Pull mouldy berries out at once — mould spreads through a punnet in hours.
How to tell if raspberries has gone bad
Dates are estimates; these are the checks that actually decide it. When more than one of these is present, throw it out rather than tasting to find out.
- White or grey fuzz
- Leaking or collapsed berries
- Fermented smell
How to use this window
A weekly kitchen review is frequent enough to surface this item before the catalog window passes.
Well Stockd does not know when this food was harvested, packed, purchased, opened, prepared, or moved between storage locations. Record the relevant opened, prepared, or refrigerated date, follow package directions, keep your refrigerator at 40°F or below, and use the official item listing when food safety is in question.
Primary sources and limits
The repository catalog identifies USDA FoodKeeper and FSIS typical refrigerated storage guidance as its source. FoodKeeper explains that storage times are guidelines and that actual quality varies with growing, handling, distribution, and storage conditions.
