Sun-Dried Tomatoes Going Bad

kitchencuddle.com

Dried tomatoes lose moisture during drying, but storage conditions still affect their quality and safety.

Check whether the tomatoes are dry-packed or oil-packed, homemade or commercial, and opened or unopened.

There is no single one-year or two-year shelf life for every product. Follow the package’s storage and after-opening instructions.

Homemade dried tomatoes in oil with garlic or herbs need refrigeration. Use within four days or freeze.

Discard moldy or suspicious tomatoes. Smell and appearance cannot prove safety, so also check their preparation and storage history.
