What is the unopened shelf life of brownies when stored at freezing temperatures?

• A. 1 year
• B. 30 days
• C. 180 days
• D. 7 days

Answer: (A)

Freezing slows or halts spoilage and preserves quality, especially for baked goods kept unopened in their sealed packaging. When brownies are stored at freezing temperatures with the package intact, they can maintain best quality for about one year. The zero-degree or subzero environment prevents microbial growth and minimizes moisture loss and freezer burn, keeping the brownies usable for a long time. When you’re ready to use them, thaw safely in the refrigerator or at room temperature, and avoid thawing and refreezing.
