Can pickles go bad?
Abby Mercer/AllRecipes
Pickles are a great snack or side dish to a good sandwich but how long do they really last? Sometimes it seems like they could sit in the fridge forever and still taste great. But like all pickles there are rules for storing them to ensure freshness.
Regardless of how they are prepared all fresh foods will eventually spoil. However pickled and fermented foods such as gherkins have a much longer shelf life. This is mainly due to the acid in the brine. Food spoils when harmful bacteria multiply and eventually spoil the food.
