Does Hatch Green Chile Go Bad?

Yes, like any fresh food, roasted Hatch Green Chile can go bad. Once the chiles are roasted, they need to be refrigerated and typically used within a week to maintain their best flavor and quality.

If you've opened a jar, keep it refrigerated and use it within about a month for the best flavor and texture — the chile's natural acidity keeps it safe, so that window is about quality, not safety.

If you want to extend the life of your roasted green chile, you can freeze them. Properly stored in a freezer-safe container or bag, they can last up to 12 months or more in the freezer.
