How long can moon cakes be refrigerated?

Generally speaking, the shelf life of unopened moon cakes is 20~90 days. The shelf life of moon cakes is mainly affected by the stuffing inside and also by the packaging.

Mooncakes filled with fruit can only be preserved for about one month, while mooncakes filled with sweet sugar such as bean paste and red dates can be preserved for a little longer. Among them, frozen moon cakes have the shortest shelf life, only 15~20 days, so they need to be kept in the refrigerator for so long.

The opened moon cakes can only be kept for a few hours at room temperature and only for about two days in the refrigerator. Therefore, it is best to eat the opened moon cakes as soon as possible.
