How perishable is cream cheese?

Answer by  tysonjc1 (204)

Cream cheese is semi-perishable, meaning that it must be stored in the refrigerator. Cream cheese is nice because it will keep for at least 2 months in the fridge. Do not consume cream cheese if it has been out of the refrigerator for more than 3 hours or if it is growing mold.

Cream cheese is a very perishable food item and a fresh cream cheese does not stay good for more than a day at normal temperature. If sugar is added, the cheese stays for a longer time. Freezing cheese brings a drastic change in taste when it is thawed for use later.

It is quite perishable and will spoil within hours out of a fridge. In a fridge it would still only last a few weeks

Very perishable. It can be brought to room temperature, around half an hour or so out of the fridge but tends to go bad very quickly afterward. I don't recommend leaving it out more than a couple of hours.

Unrefrigerated, cream cheese will degrade quickly. In the refrigerated cream cheese can last about a week. Keep it well-wrapped if already opened. Not yet opened will last about a month.

Cream cheese is perishable that means it expires after a tenure of about nine to ten days from the date of manufacture. Its nutritional value is lost even if it does not carry or contact any fungus if we keep the same under referigeration. We must not use the cheese made up from cream after the expiry date.
