How long does tofu stay good....?

Question

How long does tofu stay good after the expiration date? It's still sealed in the package.

Answer 1

i didn't know tofu was good!!

Answer 2

Personally, I believe that if it looks fine, smells fine, and feels fine, it's fine.

I rarely have tofu in the house for long but I will throw it out after three months.

Answer 3

"Tofu is highly perishable and, like fish or chicken, must stay refrigerated. When selecting tofu, check the expiration date on the label. Most brands of tofu manufactured by Chinese companies allow you to see the tofu inside the container through a clear, see-through portion of the label. Choose containers whose tofu is brightly white with no signs of yellowing. The water the tofu is immersed in should be clear, not cloudy (a sign of spoilage). Store sealed containers of tofu in the coolest part of your refrigerator (toward the rear) for up to four days, depending on the tofu’s freshness. Once you open the container, smell the water—it should give off a clean, nondescript aroma, not a swampy or sour odor. Also, test a sliver of tofu—it should taste bland and vaguely sweet, not at all sour or “off.” Transfer any tofu that you don’t use to a nonreactive bowl filled with fresh water; it will keep refrigerated and covered with plastic wrap for two to three days. Tofu that you’ve deep-fried and haven’t used in a recipe will keep refrigerated sealed in plastic wrap for up to four days; you can add it later to curries and stir-fries."

Answer 4

I don't eat ANYTHING past the expiration date, so I wouldn't try with tofu. Better to be safe than sorry, and I don't agree with the person who answered above me at all. Do not let looks decisive.
