How Fast Does Clam Chowder Go Bad?

How long can clam chowder be left out before it starts to go off? In accordance with the USDA guidelines, clam chowder should not be left out for more than 2 hours. After then, it enters the Danger Zone, which is defined as the temperature range between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cooked clam chowder will keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days if refrigerated properly. Cooked clam chowder may be frozen to increase its shelf life even more. Freeze it in sealed airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags to maximize shelf life.
