Best Answer

The date on the package applies only if it is unopened and stored under the conditions specified on the package. As soon as it is opened, the shelf life is greatly reduced.

A can of mushroom soup might have a "best by" of a year from now. But if I open it today, there is no way that I would expect it to remain good for a year.

How do you store your tortillies?

Not necessarily. The tortillas will last at ambient temperature until the date printed on the package. If they are placed in the refrigerator until they are ready to be used, they will last longer. The shelf life in the refrigerator varies depending on the conditions the product was stored prior to placing them in a refrigerated container.It depends on the handling conditions the product was exposed to. If you are not going to consume the whole package after opening it, wash your hands, remove the tortillas you will need and tightly close the package. The product should be good until the expiration date printed on the package.

How long can sliced proscuitto be out of the refrigerator?

your salami will last quite awhile if unopened, depending also on the type of salami. If it is sliced an just kept in a paper bag you will probably have good 1-2 weeks out of it before it goes hard an starts to become inedible. If it is a whole roll of salami it usually has a wax protecting coat on it that will stop it from getting stale and, if unopened, will last for many months out the refrigerator
