The shelf life of popping boba depends on whether it is unopened or opened:
- Unopened, popping boba has a shelf life of 9 months to 1 year from the manufacturer date.
- Once opened, popping boba should be refrigerated and consumed within 2 weeks to 1-2 months. The quality and flavor will start to degrade after 2 weeks, but it should still be safe to eat for some time after that
In summary, unopened popping boba lasts 9-12 months, but once opened it should be used within 2 weeks for best quality and within 1-2 months for safe consumption, stored in the refrigerator
