Does vegetable shortening go bad?

It gets a rancid fat taste pretty rapidly, especially since it doesn't have transfats now.

I'd say no. I so rarely use it that I buy the sticks and keep it in the freezer.

 
If it smells "off", it has turned rancid probably--and if opened

and not refrigerated, it probably is. Your nose will tell you--shouldn't really have any odor.

 
Thank you for the quick replies - I won't take a chance - it's for a new org I'm creating

which includes handing out cookies....smileys/smile.gif
