Storage tips for grapes
- Fridge at 0–5°C. A fridge thermometer is the cheapest food-safety upgrade — many home fridges run warmer than their dial suggests.
- Freezing guidance applies to whole grapes.
You can also check the calorie content of grapes alongside their safety information. Dog owners should check if grapes are safe for dogs before sharing, and cat owners can check whether cats can eat grapes.

Common questions
How long do grapes last in the fridge?
1 week in a fridge running at 0–5°C (USDA FoodKeeper guidance). After that, quality and safety both start to slip, and because the bacteria that cause food poisoning are invisible, ‘it seems fine’ is not a reliable test. When in doubt, throw it out.
How can I tell if grapes have gone off?
Sliminess, mushy patches, mould and a sour or fermented smell are the usual signs; cut away a small bruise but discard anything mouldy or slimy. Do not rely on this alone: the time guideline matters even when everything looks fine.
Can I freeze grapes to keep them longer?
Yes. For best quality, freeze them for around 1 month; they stay safe beyond that because freezing halts bacterial growth, and only texture and flavour decline. Freezing guidance applies to whole grapes.
Can I keep grapes out of the fridge?
Yes, for a short time only: around 1 day in the cupboard or at room temperature.
