I wish someone would answer this question. I want to know how long it is safe to keep opened pimento cheese refrigerated.

Depends on which kind of pimento cheese you have...
If you have a jar of pimento cheese spread which contains (Cheese, mayonnaise & pimentos) then the shelf life is 8-10 days.
If you have the sliced pimento cheese (loaf) then the shelf life is 4-5 days as sliced cheese tends to dry out..
no you cant
Yup.
No not to sell cheese. However, you do need a cheese license too import cheese.
Sell-by is the date the store is supposed to be responsible for getting rid of it by. Use-by is the date guranteed safe to eat by, but they are supposed to be moddest and last beyond the expiration date (the use-by date).
A sell-by date does not really keep food safe. It protects the processor and store from some liability and loss. For a potentially hazardous food, it would hopefully be sold well before before spoilage takes hold or any pathogens reach a toxic level - but then I'd expect an expiration date, not a sell-by. It is not the sell-by date alone that keeps food safe. It has to be handled and stored properly, too, including after the sale. Sell-by dates are usually guides for quality, not safety.
Sell-By Date: Refers to the last day a retailer can display a product for sale; typically a food is safe to eat for 10 days after the Sell-by Date if refrigerated properly.
It all depends whether it is a sell by date, use by date, or a best before date. If it is a sell by, then that would be an earlier date than an 'eat by' date so it would probably be OK. If it is a best before, then it probably won't taste as good but will still be safe; if it is after a use by date then it may not be safe so you shouldn't eat it.
I called Kroger and talked to the butcher and he said no. I noticed that Kroger has a sell by date and a stamp on the package said use or freeze by the same date , so he was probably right.
I wouldn't eat it......
Pasteurised milk is safe to drink all year round if the product is still within it's expiry (or sell by) date.
The "Sell By" date is the date after which the store is not supposed to sell the product.
Several factors. Does it have a useby date? If so, if it is past it, do NOT use it. If you're less cautious or if it does not have a useby date, does it look discoloured or smell funny? If so, do NOT use it.
