Yes, maple candy does eventually lose its ideal texture and flavor, though it doesn't spoil in the way perishable foods do.
Shelf Life and Texture Changes
Maple candy has a limited shelf life of approximately two months. While it won't become unsafe to eat, its texture will change significantly over time. It will harden and become crunchy. This textural alteration is the primary reason people consider it to have "gone bad," even though it remains safe for consumption. The manufacturer notes they make their candy to order to ensure maximum freshness.
Maintaining Maple Candy Quality
To enjoy your maple candy at its best, consume it within two months of purchase. Storing it in a cool, dry place can help prolong its optimal texture and flavor.
- Optimal Storage: Cool, dry location.
