So I got a pack of spicy chorizo today and it states once opened consume within 2 days.

I will never use it all within 2 days whilst the use by date is 21 August.

Will it be ok to use a bit now and again over a period of weeks or more do you think?

I thought with it being a cured meat it should last a good while even when opened.

Don’t normally buy this just but going to fry some occasionally for adding flavour to vegetable stir fry etc :)

Cheers
 
Ok thanks. That’s what I thought with it being cured.

I suppose they want you to use it all within 2 days to go and buy more then :D
 
Yeah I had considered that but want to use it as and when needed without having to defrost first.

I would say it will be used within a month anyway so hopefully be ok :)
