How long does liver pate last?

I bought a jar of liver pate because it looked fancy, but then forgot about it in my late-night work fog. Honestly, if it's open, finish it within 3 days or just throw it. Don't risk food poisoning when you are already running on 4 hours of sleep like me.

Hey there! Homemade liver pate usually stays good for about 3 to 4 days in a proper airtight container in the fridge. If you want it to last longer, you can pour a layer of melted butter on top to seal it! 😊

I am always terrified of meat-borne bacteria, so I never keep open liver pate for more than 48 hours. Please smell it closely before eating; if it looks slightly greyish or smells sour, discard it immediately. Botulism and food poisoning are really not worth the risk.

I literally got a terrible stomach bug last month from eating pate that was open in the fridge for five days. It looked fine but my stomach was wrecked for a week. Trust me, do not cross the 3-day mark once the seal is broken.

Pate is very high in sodium and fats, so I have stopped eating it to keep my blood pressure under control. But when my kids buy it, they finish it within 2 days of opening. Make sure you check the expiry date on the pack if it is store-bought.

If you are like my flatmates, it won't even last 2 hours because they will wipe the bowl clean with toast! But scientifically speaking, keep it for maximum 3 days in the fridge unless you want your stomach to throw a massive protest.
