Shelf Life Of Shredded Coconut

I would think a bag that was unopened would still be good.When you open the bag you can feel the moistness on the coconut flakes.I only use coconut on holidays---so I put mine in the freezer.You're right if it is longer good it will feel dried out.

The package of the brand I use (Baker's) states, "Store tightly closed bag in refrigerator or freeze up to 18 months". I have used that as a guide for years.

It is so high in saturated fat, it will keep indefinitely, especially if it's sweetned w/ sugar. But if in doubt, throw it out. It's not like you're losing a fortune invested in a bag of coconut!

It won't go bad. It depends on the bag. It's either still good if it had a good seal, or it may lose it's texture and become paper-like if any air got to it.

Where was it put? Freezer?
Just you have to check. If it is covered then it could have fungus due to some left over moisture.
If it is freezer, I think it is safe to use. But if it is open I would think It would dry out.

Coconut is high in oils that can go rancid.
Throw it out and get fresh.
