Can Syrup Go Bad in Fridge?

How long does syrup retain its flavor? Unopened— it's good indefinitely. Opened — it will last a year if you refrigerate it, and years if stored in the freezer.

How can you tell if syrup has gone bad?

The first indication that a simple syrup has gone bad is a cloudy appearance. A freshly prepared syrup has a clear appearance, much like water. So a cloudy appearance is not a good sign. The cloudy appearance eventually takes on a moldy look as the breakdown intensifies.

How long does syrup last in the fridge?

Maple syrup unopened will last indefinitely. All of our syrup is heat packed and sealed so until it is cracked open it will have an indefinite shelf life. Once the jug is opened it should be kept in the refrigerator and should last up to 2 years.
