Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for fresh cranberries. Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Cranberries are chilling sensitive, so long holding near freezing causes low-temperature breakdown (dull, rubbery, decaying fruit); bruising also increases breakdown and decay, and the fruit should not be sprinkled or top-iced. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
