After opening canned fruit, it remains safe for consumption for five days to a week in the refrigerator. It's best to transfer the contents to an airtight food-safe container for optimal freshness. While the fruit may start to degrade in flavor and texture, it should still be safe to eat unless spoilage indicators like mold and off smells appear, which necessitate immediate disposal. Alternatively, leftover canned fruit can be frozen to extend its usability beyond the typical refrigerated timeframe.
Many people who have cans of sliced peaches or fruit cocktail sitting in their pantry might worry about what will happen after opening them.
Once that fruit is out of the can it's not going to have a much longer shelf life than fresh fruit.
If you package up canned fruit and store it in the refrigerator after opening, it turns out you have five days up to a week to use it.
While your canned fruit should be safe in the fridge for a bit, you should still keep an eye out for signs of spoilage.
