Opened blueberry pie lasts 1 week in the fridge and 8 months in the freezer. Unopened, it keeps 1–2 days in the pantry.
USDA FoodKeeper lists blueberry pie under “Fruit pies (apple, peach, blueberry, apricot, cherry, blackberry)”, so this page uses that entry's storage times.

Blueberry pie shelf life, answered
How long does blueberry pie last in the fridge?
1 week at 4°C (40°F) or colder (opened). Keep it sealed so it does not pick up moisture or odours.
How long does blueberry pie last in the freezer?
8 months for best quality at -18°C (0°F). Frozen food stays safe indefinitely; after that, texture and flavour fade.
How long does blueberry pie last at room temperature?
It is not meant to be kept at room temperature. Refrigerate it.
How long does blueberry pie last after opening?
1 week in the fridge once opened. The printed date stops applying the moment you break the seal.
How long does unopened blueberry pie last?
1–2 days in the pantry, if the seal is intact and it is stored as the label says.
How long is blueberry pie good for past the expiration date?
FoodKeeper gives unopened blueberry pie 1–2 days in the pantry, counted from the day you buy it. "Best-by" and "sell-by" describe quality and stock rotation, not safety; only infant formula carries a federally required use-by date.
How can you tell if blueberry pie is bad?
Musty, sour or alcoholic smell. Hard and dry is stale but safe; damp or sticky is not. Discoloured spots on the crust or crumb.
Signs blueberry pie has gone bad
Smell
Musty, sour or alcoholic smell.
Texture
Hard and dry is stale but safe; damp or sticky is not.
Colour
Discoloured spots on the crust or crumb.
Mould
Any visible mould — discard the whole item; roots spread unseen.
Can you freeze blueberry pie?
- 1Step 1
Freeze on the day you buy or bake it, once fully cool.
- 2Step 2
Wrap tightly in plastic, then a freezer bag; slice bread first so you can take what you need.
- 3Step 3
Thaw at room temperature in the wrap, or toast or warm from frozen.
How to thaw blueberry pie
In the fridge
Move it to the fridge the night before; texture holds best.
At room temperature
Bread and baked goods thaw well on the counter, still wrapped, in 1–3 hours.
From frozen
Many foods go straight into soups, sauces, smoothies or the oven.
Blueberry pie left out overnight
Opened blueberry pie belongs in the fridge. Overnight at room temperature speeds spoilage; if it smells, looks or tastes off, discard it.
