Unopened bags usually last until the 'best by' date. Once opened, it should be consumed within 3-5 days before it loses its crunch or becomes slimy.
Freezing raw coleslaw mix is not recommended if you plan to use it for salad, as it will lose its texture. However, it can be frozen if you intend to use it in cooked dishes like soups or stir-fries.
The best substitute is a homemade blend of shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrots in a roughly 4:1 ratio of cabbage to carrots.
Most bagged mixes are pre-washed (triple-washed). Check the packaging; if it says 'ready to eat' or 'pre-washed,' additional washing is not necessary.
