Eggo waffles are frozen toaster waffles made by Kellogg’s company. They’re super convenient and come in a variety of flavors. Choose from homestyle, blueberry, strawberry, traditional buttermilk, and more.
Eggo waffles are kept in the freezer and removed one at a time when you need them. They take just a few minutes to toast and top with your favorite treats, so they’re perfect for families on the go.
These frozen waffles provide the perfect canvas for your culinary creations. Think outside the box and make savory waffles too.
Once toasted, these amazing waffles are crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy inside, just like waffles are supposed to be.
Eggo waffles are made from regular ingredients that can be found in most people’s kitchens.
They contain vitamin-enriched flour, vegetable oil, milk, soy, sugar, eggs, baking soda, and a few other bits and pieces, depending on the flavor.
As with any other frozen foods, Eggo waffles last quite a while if kept frozen, but we’d like to fill you in about exactly how long you can safely store them.
How Long Do Eggo Waffles Last in the Freezer?
- If correctly stored in the deep freeze, frozen Eggo waffles will stay at peak quality for up to four months. However, they will normally still be safe for consumption for up to six months.
- Look for an expiry date stamp on the box when purchasing your waffles. Choose the freshest batch available. There will usually be a “Best By” date but you can go beyond this because it isn’t an expiry date but simply the manufacturer’s estimation of how long the waffles will stay at their optimal quality.
- Store frozen waffles at 0 degrees Fahrenheit (-18 degrees Celcius) or below. If the packaging has not been damaged, the waffles will keep for up to six months like this.
How to Tell if Frozen Waffles Are No Longer Alright to Eat
If there are any dry patches or discoloration, freezer burn has probably occurred. While the waffles will still be safe to eat, the texture and flavor will be adversely affected.
How to Keep Frozen Waffles in Peak Condition
- At the store, choose the freshest pack available.
- Immediately after purchase, place your waffles and other frozen goods in a cooler until you get home.
- Once you’re home, transfer the waffles to the freezer straight away.
- Eat them soon!
