Can peanut butter go bad?

[TMswitch06]

well can it?

 

[hartig]

I would think that if it was left open for a while that it could, but if the lid was closed, I don't think it would.

 

[TMswitch06]

yea i meant like with the lid on, cuz ive had a jar chillin in my dorm all x-mas break and i just had some and it seems like it tastes fine

 

[DiamondC]

yeah its fine if it has the lid

 

[hartig]

Yeah, I've had some in my house for at least a year+, and it's still good.

 

[manzear]

shelf life 1 year

 

[attitashfreestyle29]

yes peanut butter can definetly go bad

 

[Badfish2]

Nope, can be safely stored without refrigeration. Since it's mostly oil. How long does peanut oil keep for?

 

[jamesmccormick]

it depends, read the label... i eat organic peanut butter and it doesnt last nearly as long as jiffy or skippy or whatever
