You open your freezer and realize that there is a box of popsicles that you have purchased several months ago. They still are alright-- but you stand there a minute and ask yourself, "Are popsicles out of shape?

Yes, the short answer is yes, popsicles can expire, it is just that they do not in the same way that other foods do. No matter whether you are simply making Blisspops natural fruit flavors or any other brand that you buy at the store, proper storage is the key to a refreshing snack or burns on the freezer.

We are going to deconstruct the information of the length of popsicles, what makes them go bad and how to make the popsicles taste as good as the day you purchased.

What is the shelf life of Popsicles in the Freezer?

Popsicles kept at the right temperature 0°F (-18degC) or less will last as long as 6-8 months without losing their quality. Being frozen solid they do not go bad in the conventional meaning of the term, but with time, texture and taste may alter.

The bad news is that you will be making a wise decision by stocking on Blisspops in this case: you will be using high-quality, natural ingredients which will last longer than sugar-based, artificial ingredients.

Nevertheless, the quality of the best popsicles can be influenced by air and changes in temperature. They might get ice crystals or be a little tasteless, that is when you know they are out of shape.

How to know whether a Popsicle is bad.

Maybe it is time to get rid of these old pops? Watch out for these signs:

Frost Buildup or Ice Crystals - A thin one is fine, but heavy frost implies the loss of moisture and loss of flavor.

Color Alteration - The deep color of the natural popsicles may change to a slightly lighter color, and deep discoloration is an indication of oxidation.

Abnormal Texture - When it is not smooth and icy but rather grainy or sticky, it is time to change it.

Off Taste or Odor - You can never go wrong with your senses. Any unpleasant smell or bad taste = dispose of it.

Your safest bet? Turn over your freezer inventory - have the old ones up front, and the new Blisspops in the back to be used later.
