What's the Shelf Life of Margarine?

I just learned something new about my beloved margarine today. Naturally, my random factoid was brought to me by the ever-wise Heloise. I love that woman!

Let's test your Heloise hint IQ. Ready? What is the refrigerator shelf life of margarine?

a. Two to three months
b. Four to six months
c. Eight to 12 months

If you chose "a," you get to go to the front of the class! Margarine has a refrigerator shelf life of two to three months. There is usually a "use by" date on the margarine, so check it out, too. Margarine can be frozen for six to eight months for longer storage. – Heloise
