How long does Spaghetti last?
In the pantry: 0 days
Storage life for Spaghetti depends on the product type, packaging, and conditions. As a general rule, refrigerated items keep 3–7 days once opened; pantry-stable items hold months in their original sealed packaging. Once you open a container, smell and visual inspection become more reliable than the printed date. When in doubt, trust your senses — sour smell, off color, or unusual texture mean it's time to throw it out.
