How long does coconut milk last in the fridge?

The refrigerator shelf life of coconut milk depends on packaging type and whether it has been opened. Opened canned coconut milk should be transferred from the metal can into an airtight glass or plastic container and used within 4 to 6 days.

Store-bought carton coconut milk (found in the dairy or plant-milk section) typically lasts 7 to 10 days in the fridge after opening. Unopened shelf-stable cartons last until the package expiration date. Always check for spoilage signs before consuming: a sour or rancid smell, curdling, yellowing, or mold indicate the milk has gone bad.
