You reach for the cashew milk to pour over your cereal and realize you can’t remember when you opened the carton. Does cashew milk go bad or expire? It does, and opening it shortens how long it lasts. Here is what brand FAQs, extension guides, USDA and FDA say about cashew milk shelf life, spoilage, freezing, homemade batches and recalls.
Does cashew milk go bad or expire?
For a complete pantry and fridge reference, see our Food Storage Guide. For related questions, see whether milk, almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, coconut milk, coffee creamer and cashews need special storage, and our guide to non-dairy milks.
đź“‹ Cashew Milk: At a Glance
| Unopened refrigerated carton | Use by the date on the carton. Virginia Tech says to keep refrigerated foods below 40°F |
| Unopened shelf-stable carton | Pantry until the date on the package. Silk says shelf-stable products don’t need refrigeration until opened |
| Opened, either type | 7 to 10 days (Silk Cashewmilk, Elmhurst, Virginia Tech’s non-dairy row). Forager Project says 5 to 7 days |
| Homemade | Clemson Extension’s article says to use it within 5 to 7 days from an airtight container in the fridge |
| Left out | Discard after more than 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F), per Virginia Tech’s general rule for refrigerated foods |
| Freezer | Silk, Elmhurst and Forager Project don’t recommend it |
| Recalled carton | Throw it out or return it, as the recall notice says |
| “Best by” date | A quality date, not a safety date, per USDA |
Key Takeaways
- Brand recommendations for opened cashew milk range from 5 to 10 days. They are recommended storage windows, not a universal safety limit.
- Silk’s Cashewmilk FAQ says the product stays fresh 7 to 10 days after opening and must be refrigerated. Forager Project says 5 to 7 days for its products.
- Virginia Tech’s non-dairy milk row lists 7 to 10 days opened. It names almond, coconut, rice and soy, so applying it to cashew milk is our own reading.
- Shelf-stable cartons are made for room-temperature storage until opened. Refrigerate every carton after opening.
- Refrigerate opened cartons promptly. Virginia Tech says to discard refrigerated foods that may have been at room temperature more than 2 hours. That rule is not specific to cashew milk.
- Silk, Elmhurst and Forager Project don’t recommend freezing, mainly because of texture changes. Silk says freezing doesn’t affect safety.
- Clemson Extension’s homemade cashew milk article says to use it within 5 to 7 days.
- Cashew is on FDA’s list of tree nuts, so cashew milk is a tree nut product for people with a tree nut allergy.
This page is mainly about store-bought refrigerated and shelf-stable cashew milk, with a section on homemade batches. The sources we reviewed give no separate times for sweetened, unsweetened, flavored or organic cartons, so follow your carton. For cashew-based creamers, see our coffee creamer post. Other plant milks have different brands and processing, so we cover them separately.
Does Cashew Milk Go Bad?
Yes. Silk’s FAQ has a Cashewmilk question: the product stays fresh 7 to 10 days after opening and must be refrigerated, and an unopened carton goes by the expiration date. Virginia Tech Extension’s food storage guide (publication 348-960) lists a non-dairy milk row for almond, coconut, rice, soy, etc. It gives the package use-by date unopened and 7 to 10 days opened.
Cashew isn’t named in that row, so reading it as covering cashew milk is our own reasoning. We treat these as recommended storage windows under proper refrigeration, not as safety tests.
| Storage | Our suggested guideline | What the sources say |
|---|---|---|
| Unopened refrigerated carton | Use by the date on the carton | Virginia Tech: package use-by date, and refrigerated foods below 40°F. Silk: refrigerated beverages stay fresh until the date stamped on the carton |
| Unopened shelf-stable carton | Pantry until the date on the package | Silk: shelf-stable products don’t need refrigeration until opened. Elmhurst: unopened products can be stored at room temperature until the stamped date |
| Opened, either type | Refrigerate. If the carton gives no guidance, our own conservative target is 5 to 7 days | Silk Cashewmilk: 7 to 10 days. Elmhurst: 7 to 10 days. Virginia Tech: 7 to 10 days for non-dairy milks. Forager Project: 5 to 7 days |
| Opened or refrigerated carton, left out | Refrigerate promptly. Discard after more than 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F) | Virginia Tech: 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F) for refrigerated foods, not specific to cashew milk |
| Homemade | Airtight container in the fridge, use within 5 to 7 days at most | Clemson Extension: airtight container in the fridge, consume within 5 to 7 days |
| Freezer | Not recommended | Silk: not recommended, texture changes, safety unaffected. Elmhurst and Forager Project: not recommended |
How Long Does Opened Cashew Milk Last?
Opened cashew milk is generally recommended for about 5 to 10 days in the refrigerator, and the range comes from different brand figures. Silk’s Cashewmilk answer says the product stays fresh 7 to 10 days after opening and must be refrigerated. Silk’s general FAQ adds that its products often stay good past 10 days, but it only stands behind 7 to 10 days once opened.
Elmhurst says to keep its products refrigerated after opening and use them within 7 to 10 days, and its Milked Cashews product page says the same. A 2018 Elmhurst blog post gives 5 to 7 days, so even one brand’s pages can differ.
Forager Project says its products typically last 5 to 7 days in the refrigerator once opened and exposed to air. Forager’s figure is for its products generally, not a cashew-only answer.
Follow your carton’s instructions. If it gives no post-opening guidance, we’d plan on 5 to 7 days, the lower brand figure, which is our own conservative target and not a validated safety limit.
Does Cashew Milk Need to Be Refrigerated?
It depends on the carton, until you open it. Silk says its shelf-stable products don’t need to be refrigerated until they are opened, and that their packaging is sterile and airtight. Elmhurst says an unopened product can be stored at room temperature, including one bought from the refrigerated case.
That Elmhurst statement is about its own products. For other brands, we’d keep a carton bought from the refrigerated case cold, which is our own suggestion. Silk says refrigerated beverages stay fresh in the refrigerator until the stamped date.
Every opened carton needs the refrigerator. Silk, Elmhurst and Forager Project all say to refrigerate after opening. Virginia Tech says to store refrigerated foods below 40°F, and to discard refrigerated foods left out more than 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F.
That rule isn’t specific to cashew milk, but opened cashew milk must be refrigerated, so we apply it to opened cartons and to refrigerated cartons left out. We’d also keep the carton on an interior shelf rather than in the door, where temperatures swing more, which is our own suggestion.
Can You Drink Cashew Milk After the Expiration Date?
In the United States, dates are generally about quality. USDA says the phrase “Best if Used By” indicates when a product will be of best flavor or quality, and that except for infant formula, dates are not an indicator of safety. Silk’s Cashewmilk answer says to refer to the expiration date on each carton.
Competing articles give unopened shelf-stable cartons anywhere from up to three months (Tasting Table) to ten months or longer (The Daily Meal). The brand pages we read give a printed date, not a number of months, so we don’t repeat those figures. For an opened carton, check both the manufacturer’s post-opening instructions and the printed date. Neither a date nor a day count proves safety.
We’d toss a refrigerated carton that is past its date, which is our own suggestion. A quality date doesn’t mean an unopened shelf-stable carton stays safe indefinitely, so we’d follow the storage instructions, check the carton for damage, and discard it if anything looks compromised, which is our own caution.
Is It Normal for Cashew Milk to Separate?
Often, yes. Elmhurst says natural separation happens because it doesn’t use gums or emulsifiers, and to give the carton a good shake. Its tip for a new carton is to open and re-close it first to break the seal before shaking. That is one brand’s explanation, so check your own carton. Tasting Table treats a layer on top as a sign of spoilage, but Elmhurst attributes separation to the lack of gums or emulsifiers.
Silk and Forager Project don’t address separation in the answers we read. We’d shake the carton well, and we’d throw it out if lumps stay or the milk smells off, which is our own reading.
Can You Freeze Cashew Milk?
We wouldn’t, for drinking. Silk’s Cashewmilk answer says it does not recommend freezing. Silk adds that freezing doesn’t affect safety or nutritional value, that its products change in texture when thawed, and that its beverages perform well in frozen dessert recipes.
Elmhurst says it doesn’t recommend freezing because it affects the natural fats and proteins, so thawed product may not regain its creamy texture. Forager Project says its products are not made for freezing, and that freezing changes the texture and the taste.
Tasting Table and The Daily Meal say to use frozen cashew milk within three to six months. No brand page we read gives a freezer time. If you freeze some, we’d use a separate freezer-safe container rather than the carton, and use it in a smoothie or cooking, which is our own suggestion.
How Long Does Homemade Cashew Milk Last?
Clemson Extension’s Home & Garden Information Center published a homemade cashew milk article in June 2026. It says to store the milk in an airtight container in the fridge and consume it within 5 to 7 days. It also says to use fresh, high-quality nuts and to keep all equipment clean.
That is an extension article’s recommendation, and we found no testing described in it. Homemade milk isn’t commercially processed and packaged like a carton, so we’d lean toward the shorter end, which is our own suggestion.
Clemson’s recipe soaks the nuts for 4 to 6 hours or overnight and optionally strains the blended mixture. We’d treat the cartons’ 7 to 10 day figures as not applying to a homemade batch, which is our own reasoning.
How Can You Tell if Cashew Milk Is Bad?
None of the brand pages we read list spoilage signs for cashew milk. Silk’s Cashewmilk answer, Elmhurst’s FAQ and Forager Project’s FAQ give storage windows but no smell, color or texture cues. Competing articles, including Tasting Table’s and Discover Real Food in Texas’s, list a sour smell, lumps, sliminess or a color change. Virginia Tech’s general guidance says spoiled food shows off-odors, off-flavors, off-color or soft texture, and that mold on dairy products indicates spoilage. None of that is cashew-specific. These are our own practical discard signs, not a validated test:
- Visible mold on the milk, cap or carton opening.
- A sour or otherwise unusual smell.
- An obvious color change, such as yellowing, or a slimy texture.
- A swollen, leaking or damaged carton.
- A curdled or lumpy texture that doesn’t smooth out after a good shake.
If you see mold, discard the carton without sniffing it. USDA’s mold page says not to sniff a moldy item. We don’t suggest tasting cashew milk to test it, because a normal taste can’t rule out a problem.
Don’t rely on look or smell alone. If a carton is past the brand’s post-opening window or was left out too long, we’d discard it even if it looks fine.
Has Cashew Milk Been Recalled?
Cashew-containing beverages have been. A July 8, 2024 Canadian Food Inspection Agency notice recalled refrigerated Silk and Great Value plant-based beverages for possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination. It said there were reported illnesses and that the recall followed an investigation into a foodborne illness outbreak. Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to where they were purchased. The Public Health Agency of Canada’s final outbreak notice (October 11, 2024) linked 20 laboratory-confirmed illnesses, 15 hospitalizations and three deaths to the outbreak. Its findings name Silk and Great Value plant-based refrigerated beverages generally, not cashew products in particular.
The cashew products on that list were Silk Almond & Cashew Unsweetened and Unsweetened Vanilla, both 1.75 L, with best-before dates up to and including 24 OC 04 and a product code containing 7825. The notice also covered Silk almond, coconut and oat products and three Great Value almond beverages. We saw no cashew-only Silk product on it.
Separately, a February 2026 news report on an FDA enforcement report described a Class I recall involving Everpress Juice’s “JUICE from the Raw” cashew milk and cashew coffee milk, sold in 24 states. The report says the recall began July 24, 2025, because under-processing could leave harmful bacteria in the product. It does not state whether illnesses were reported. We couldn’t open FDA’s enforcement report database, so that item rests on the news coverage.
These are examples, not a complete recall search. The notices list specific products, dates and codes, so check them instead of assuming every carton of a brand is affected.
Is Cashew Milk Safe for People With Tree Nut Allergies?
Cashew milk is made from a tree nut. FDA’s allergen guidance (Edition 5, January 2025) lists cashew among the tree nuts that are major food allergens, and FDA counts tree nuts among the nine major food allergens.
If you have a cashew allergy, avoid cashew milk. If you have an allergy to a different tree nut, ask your allergist whether cashew is appropriate for you, and read the label every time. This article is not medical advice.
What Can You Make With Cashew Milk?
None of our recipes use cashew milk as the default, but four list it as an optional swap. Our Easy Gluten-Free Penne Alla Vodka lists unsweetened cashew milk as a substitute for the heavy cream.
Our Healthy Banana Cream Protein Shake lists cashew among the unsweetened non-dairy milks you can use, as does our Vanilla Mixed Berry Smoothie. Our Dark and Creamy Hot Chocolate suggests cashew as a non-dairy swap.
Our guide to non-dairy milks for coffee says cashew milk has low foamability and might curdle in acidic or hot coffee. Elmhurst says its Milked Cashews steams and froths like its barista milks, so results vary by product. Use any carton within its opened window.
Signs Something Is Wrong
- Visible mold on the milk, cap or carton opening. Don’t sniff it. Discard it.
- A sour or unusual smell. The brand pages we read list no smell cues, so this is our own sign.
- An obvious color change or a slimy texture. This is also our own sign, since the brand pages list none.
- A swollen, leaking or damaged carton. We’d discard it.
- A curdled or lumpy texture that stays after a good shake. Shake first, since Elmhurst says some separation is natural.
- An opened carton kept longer than the manufacturer’s recommended post-opening window.
- A carton left out more than 2 hours after opening (1 hour above 90°F), or a refrigerated carton left out that long.
- A recalled lot. Compare the carton’s size, dates and codes with the notice.
We don’t suggest tasting cashew milk to test it. A normal look and smell can’t rule out a problem, and recall notices tell you to throw out or return the product.
Things That Don’t Automatically Mean Trouble
- Separation or a thin layer on top, which Elmhurst attributes to not using gums or emulsifiers. Shake the carton well first.
- A best-by date that has passed on an unopened shelf-stable carton, which USDA treats as a quality date. That doesn’t make it safe indefinitely, so follow the storage instructions and check the carton for bloating, leaks or damage first.
These are quality observations, not safety tests. Storage history, how long the carton has been open, visible signs and recall status matter more.
Quick Storage Reference
- Unopened refrigerated: Refrigerator, below 40°F, until the date on the carton.
- Unopened shelf-stable: Pantry until the date on the package.
- Opened: Refrigerator, 7 to 10 days per Silk and Elmhurst, 5 to 7 per Forager Project. With no guidance, our own conservative target is 5 to 7 days.
- Homemade: Airtight container in the fridge, within 5 to 7 days per Clemson Extension. We’d lean shorter.
- Left out: Refrigerate promptly. Discard after more than 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F).
- Freezer: Silk, Elmhurst and Forager Project don’t recommend it.
- Mold: Discard the carton. Don’t sniff it.
- Recall match: Throw it out or return it, per the notice.
| Situation | What to Do |
|---|---|
| An opened carton, 5 days in the refrigerator | Within the 5 to 10 day range the brands list, if it was kept refrigerated and closed. Check for the signs above. |
| An opened carton, 8 days in the refrigerator | Follow your carton’s instructions. Eight days is within Silk’s and Elmhurst’s 7 to 10 days but past Forager Project’s 5 to 7. If you can’t find a recommended window, we’d discard it, since it’s past our own 5 to 7 day target. |
| An opened carton, 12 days in the refrigerator | That is past every brand figure we read. We’d throw it out unless your carton says otherwise. |
| An unopened shelf-stable carton, a month past the date | In the United States, dates are generally about quality, but that doesn’t make it safe indefinitely. Follow the storage instructions, check the carton for damage, and discard it if anything looks compromised. |
| An unopened refrigerated carton, a week past the date | We’d throw it out, which is our own suggestion. Silk says refrigerated beverages stay fresh until the date stamped on the carton. |
| An opened or refrigerated carton left on the counter overnight | Discard it. Virginia Tech gives 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F) for refrigerated foods. That is general guidance, not a cashew-milk-specific test. |
| An unopened shelf-stable carton in the pantry | Fine until the date on the package. Silk says shelf-stable products don’t need refrigeration until opened. |
| Visible mold or a swollen carton | Discard it. Don’t sniff it. We don’t suggest tasting it. |
| A thin layer or separation on top | Shake the carton well, as Elmhurst says. If lumps stay or it smells off, we’d discard it. |
| A frozen and thawed carton | Expect a texture change. Silk says freezing doesn’t affect safety, but freezing doesn’t undo earlier mishandling. We’d freeze only milk that was fine to drink, thaw it in the fridge, and use it in a smoothie or cooking, which is our own suggestion. |
| Homemade cashew milk, 8 days old | Discard it. Clemson Extension says 5 to 7 days, and we’d lean shorter for a homemade batch. |
| A carton named in a recall notice | Throw it out or return it, as the notice says. |
In November 2026 we read Silk’s FAQ page, which has a Cashewmilk question on shelf life and a Cashewmilk question on freezing, plus general answers on refrigerated and shelf-stable products. We read Elmhurst’s FAQ, its Milked Cashews product page and Forager Project’s FAQ, which are manufacturer statements. Forager’s answers are for its products generally, not cashew-only. Elmhurst’s FAQ and product page say 7 to 10 days, while a 2018 Elmhurst blog post says 5 to 7 days. We read Virginia Tech Extension’s Food Storage Guidelines for Consumers (348-960, originally published May 2009 and last revised October 2025), whose dairy table has a row for non-dairy milks labeled almond, coconut, rice, soy, etc. The document does not mention cashew, so applying that row to cashew milk is our own reading. We read Clemson Extension’s homemade cashew milk article (June 2026) and USDA’s pages on mold and product dating. We read FDA’s tree nut list in its allergen guidance (Edition 5) and its page on the nine major allergens. We also read the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s July 2024 Silk recall notice and the Public Health Agency of Canada’s final outbreak notice. The Everpress Juice recall comes from a news report on an FDA enforcement report, which we could not open directly. We also read competing articles from Tasting Table, The Daily Meal and Discover Real Food in Texas, and we found no brand or extension source behind the unopened, freezer and homemade figures we mention from them. Our recall search was not comprehensive. None of the brand pages we read list spoilage signs, so our discard signs are our own judgment. Virginia Tech’s 2-hour rule applies to refrigerated foods generally. The sources we reviewed give no storage time for thawed cashew milk or for sweetened and unsweetened cartons. The 5 to 7 day default for a carton with no guidance is our own judgment. Competitor claims of longer freezer or pantry times were not supported by the brand pages we read. We could not open USDA’s FoodKeeper data. Our own suggestions say we’d or we suggest. This article is general information, not medical or allergy advice.
Cashew Milk FAQ
Does cashew milk go bad?
Yes. Silk’s Cashewmilk answer says the product stays fresh 7 to 10 days after opening and must be refrigerated. Check your carton for its own guidance.
How long does cashew milk last?
Unopened, until the date on the carton or package. Opened, brands say 5 to 10 days: Silk and Elmhurst 7 to 10, Forager Project 5 to 7.
How long does opened cashew milk last?
Silk’s Cashewmilk answer says 7 to 10 days, and Forager Project says 5 to 7 for its products. With no guidance on your carton, we’d plan on 5 to 7 days, which is our own conservative target.
How long does unopened cashew milk last?
Until the date on the carton or package. Silk says refrigerated beverages stay fresh until the stamped date and shelf-stable products don’t need refrigeration until opened.
Does cashew milk need to be refrigerated?
Unopened shelf-stable cartons don’t. Unopened refrigerated cartons do, and every opened carton needs the refrigerator, per Silk, Elmhurst and Forager Project.
Does shelf-stable cashew milk need to be refrigerated?
Not until you open it. Silk says its shelf-stable products don’t need refrigeration until opened, and Elmhurst says unopened products can be stored at room temperature.
How long does shelf-stable cashew milk last after opening?
Silk says opened shelf-stable products must be refrigerated and will stay fresh 7 to 10 days. Its Cashewmilk answer also says 7 to 10 days after opening.
Can you drink cashew milk after the expiration date?
In the United States, dates are generally about quality, per USDA. For an opened carton, check the manufacturer’s instructions and the date. We’d toss a refrigerated carton that is past its date.
How can you tell if cashew milk is bad?
None of the brand pages we read list spoilage signs. Our own signs are visible mold, a sour or unusual smell, an obvious color change or slimy texture, a swollen or leaking carton, and curdled or lumpy milk that stays after shaking. We don’t suggest tasting it.
What does spoiled cashew milk smell like?
The brand pages we read don’t describe it. We’d treat an unusual smell as a reason to discard it, which is our own reading, and we don’t suggest tasting it.
What does bad cashew milk look like?
The brand pages we read describe no look-based signs. Our own signs are visible mold, an obvious color change such as yellowing, a slimy texture, and lumps that stay after shaking. Some separation is natural, per Elmhurst, so shake it first.
Why is my cashew milk chunky or curdled?
Elmhurst says some separation is natural because it uses no gums or emulsifiers, and a good shake blends it back in. We’d throw out lumps that stay after shaking, which is our own reading.
Is it normal for cashew milk to separate?
Elmhurst says natural separation happens because it doesn’t use gums or emulsifiers, and to give the carton a good shake. That is one brand’s explanation.
Why does cashew milk curdle in coffee?
Our guide to the best non-dairy milks for coffee says cashew milk might curdle in acidic or hot coffee and has low foamability, though Elmhurst says its Milked Cashews steams and froths like its barista milks. The sources we reviewed don’t say whether that means spoilage.
Can you freeze cashew milk?
We wouldn’t for drinking. Silk, Elmhurst and Forager Project don’t recommend it. Silk says freezing doesn’t affect safety, but the texture changes when thawed.
Can you freeze cashew milk in ice cube trays?
The brand pages we read don’t cover ice cubes, and none gives a freezer time. Freezing it in a separate container for smoothies is a reasonable use, which is our own reading.
How long does homemade cashew milk last?
Clemson Extension’s article says to store it in an airtight container in the fridge and consume it within 5 to 7 days. Because homemade milk isn’t commercially processed and packaged like a carton, we’d lean toward the shorter end, which is our own suggestion.
How should you store homemade cashew milk?
Clemson Extension says to use an airtight container in the fridge, use fresh, high-quality nuts and keep all equipment clean. We’d label it with the date, which is our own suggestion.
How should you store cashew milk?
Keep refrigerated cartons below 40°F, per Virginia Tech, and shelf-stable cartons in the pantry until opened. Refrigerate every carton after opening. We’d keep it on an interior shelf rather than in the door.
Can you leave cashew milk out overnight?
We’d discard an opened or refrigerated carton left out overnight. Virginia Tech gives 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F) for refrigerated foods, which isn’t cashew-milk-specific.
Does cashew milk go bad in the pantry?
Unopened shelf-stable cartons are made for the pantry, per Silk. Refrigerated cartons are not, so keep them cold.
Is cashew milk still good after 2 weeks?
Silk and Elmhurst say 7 to 10 days once opened, and Forager Project says 5 to 7. We’d throw out an opened carton at 2 weeks unless its label says otherwise.
Can cashew milk make you sick?
It can if it is spoiled or contaminated. A 2024 Canadian notice recalled Silk Almond & Cashew beverages for possible Listeria monocytogenes, and reported illnesses. Canada’s final outbreak notice linked 20 confirmed illnesses and three deaths to Silk and Great Value plant-based refrigerated beverages generally.
Is spoiled cashew milk dangerous? What happens if you drink it?
We’d throw it out. The brand pages we read don’t say what spoiled cashew milk can cause. If a carton matches a recall, the notice says to throw it out or return it.
Can you cook with expired cashew milk?
The sources we reviewed don’t address it. We’d discard cashew milk that is past its window or looks or smells off rather than cooking with it.
Has cashew milk been recalled?
Cashew-containing beverages have been. A July 2024 Canadian notice covered Silk Almond & Cashew Unsweetened and Unsweetened Vanilla. A February 2026 news report described a Class I recall involving Everpress Juice cashew milk, which it says began in July 2025.
Was Silk cashew milk recalled?
The July 2024 Canadian notice listed Silk Almond & Cashew products, not a cashew-only Silk product. That says nothing about other recalls, so check the current notices for your product.
Is cashew milk safe for people with a tree nut allergy?
Not with a cashew allergy. FDA’s allergen guidance lists cashew among the tree nuts that are major food allergens. With an allergy to a different tree nut, ask your allergist first.
Is cashew milk a tree nut?
Cashew milk is made from cashews, and FDA’s allergen guidance lists cashew among the tree nuts that are major food allergens.
Does unsweetened cashew milk last longer than sweetened?
The sources we reviewed give no separate times for unsweetened, sweetened, flavored or organic cartons. Follow your carton.
Does cashew milk last longer than almond milk?
Silk’s FAQ gives the same 7 to 10 days after opening for its Cashewmilk and Almondmilk. See our almond milk post for almond milk.
How long does Silk cashew milk last after opening?
Silk’s Cashewmilk answer says the product stays fresh 7 to 10 days after opening and must be refrigerated. Silk’s general FAQ says it only stands behind 7 to 10 days once opened.
How long does Elmhurst cashew milk last after opening?
Elmhurst’s FAQ and its Milked Cashews product page say to keep it refrigerated after opening and use it within 7 to 10 days. A 2018 Elmhurst blog post says 5 to 7 days, so follow your carton.
How long does Forager Project cashewmilk last after opening?
Forager Project says its products typically last 5 to 7 days in the refrigerator once opened and exposed to air. That answer is for its products generally.
Does cashew milk have preservatives?
Elmhurst says it uses no preservatives and aseptically packs its products, and its Milked Cashews page lists filtered water and cashews as the ingredients. Forager Project says its certified organic products contain no artificial ingredients, flavors or preservatives. Check your own label.
What can you make with cashew milk?
Our recipes list it as an optional swap in the gluten-free penne alla vodka, banana cream protein shake, mixed berry smoothie and dark hot chocolate. Use it within the opened window.
