Generally speaking, if you put it at room temperature, it will be fine for about 1 week. Of course, room temperature doesn't mean that you can put it anywhere, but you must put it in a place where the temperature is relatively stable, and it is cool and ventilated, and there is no sunlight. Of course, if the mooncakes are individually wrapped, they will have a shelf life of about 30 days at room temperature.

If stored in the freezer, the time can be extended to 3-5 months. If you don't eat mooncakes for a long time, you need to pack them in a special plastic bag or box and put them into the freezer section of the refrigerator for storage, no matter whether they are loose mooncakes or individually wrapped.

How long is the shelf life of mooncakes?

The shelf life of different mooncakes will be different.

1. The shelf life of packaged mooncakes will be a little longer because of the food additives put inside the packaged mooncakes. The shelf life of packaged mooncakes is usually 2 months to 3 months.

3. The shelf life of homemade mooncakes is shorter than that of packaged mooncakes, but homemade mooncakes are also safer than packaged mooncakes. The shelf life of homemade mooncakes is usually 10 to 15 days.
