According to the folks at Contadina...Tomato products can be kept in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.

Does a refrigerator have a effect on the world?
The best answer is 'yes' as the development of refrigeration has led to many discoveries and better health of nations.
An example of refrigeration having a negative effect on the world was the making of chlorofluorocarbons in the early 20th century. These CFCs were used as a cooling substance, which was the main way refrigerators kept things cold. The making of these CFCs and the releasing of CFCs back into the atmosphere has led to the main destruction of the ozone layer, the layer around Earth that protects Earth from harmful rays from the sun.
While one refrigerator may not effect the entire world (unless you are Indiana Jones in the 4th movie), refrigeration has made an effect on the planet.

How long does celery keep in the fridge?
If it's very fresh, it can last up to a week. After about 4 days, it will begin to lose its crunch but is still edible. You can chop/cook with it for three or four days after that. The best solution, if it's almost a week or it's not looking so good, is to crisp it by cutting into pieces and storing them in water in the fridge. Within about 30 minutes the crunch is back. Celery doesn't freeze well (it gets mealy when defrosted), so don't go that route.
