Breadcrumbs have a surprisingly shorter shelf life than many people assume. Originally good for about a year if unopened, once the container is opened, their lifespan typically reduces to approximately six months, provided they are stored correctly. For optimal storage, breadcrumbs should be placed in a cool, dry environment away from sunlight and sealed in an airtight container to minimize exposure to air. Spoilage can be indicated by mold, unusual smells, or changes in texture or color, signaling that they should no longer be consumed.
Even without being opened, breadcrumbs may not last as long as you think, being good for about a year, but once that lid comes off, even that small air exposure is going to cut their shelf life in half.
Breadcrumbs should always be kept in a cool and dry place away from sunlight and in an airtight container to limit oxygen exposure.
If there is any visible mold on the exterior of your breadcrumbs, they're done, and even if you don't see it, mold has a pungent and distinct smell that means your breadcrumbs are no longer good.
Signs of breadcrumb spoilage include unusual smells, changes in texture or color, or visible mold, which all indicate that the breadcrumbs are no longer safe to consume.
