Natural peanut butter keeps just fine in a cool, dark place like the pantry for at least a month ― which is more than enough time for many peanut butter lovers to consume it. But if you don't eat this nutty spread that quickly, the fridge will keep it fresher longer.

Does Peanut Butter Go Bad? Yes, peanut butter expires and goes bad, whether it's a commercial or natural type. Most people forget about the expiration date because this spread has a long shelf life. The commercial type can last quite a long time, whether in the pantry or the fridge.

"Conventional peanut butter does not need to be refrigerated because it has added oils that stabilize it to keep the oil from separating out and to extend its shelf life," says Cooper. Additionally, conventional peanut butter has low water activity, which means microbes generally can't grow in it.

You can keep peanut butter in the pantry for six to nine months (unopened) and two to three months (opened).

Farmers have also been hit by an increase in production costs​.
