Once opened, any leftover Spam should be transferred to an airtight container and stored in the refrigerator. It’s best consumed within 3-5 days to ensure optimal freshness and safety. If you notice any off smells or changes in texture after storing, discard the leftovers.
If you have a larger quantity of Spam left over, consider freezing it. Cut it into slices or chunks, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and place it in a freezer-safe bag or container. Properly stored, it can last up to 3 months in the freezer.
