Ralph's Market sometimes, and I notice that the expiration date is sometimes 3 to 4 weeks long from the date purchased....Is that right? Will Chicken Salad keep that long in the fridge?

Sound like a good way to get explosive diarrhea IMO. I don't keep food past a week.

I can't imagine keeping that for more than a week.

It's fine. They wouldn't risk it otherwise. There's enough salt in there to preserve it.

3 to 4 weeks sounds a bit long. Is there any nutritional label? I would be interested to see the sodium levels per serving.

I try to stay away forom pre made refridgerated foods like that. Lots of preservatives. Get stuff from a reputable deli that rotates product. Good chicken salad is not that hard to find. Don't buy something that sits in the case for a month or two.

Ralph's ain't bad at all, I think its all in the aging process they use
I have had better though.

It's pretty good, and there's no way that I'd ever eat chicken salad in the fridge past 5 or 6 days no matter what the label says.

I'm gonna have to try Calvin's too. I understand that their's, just like Ralph's comes pre-made from somewhere. I wonder how long the eat-by date is on Calvin's chicken salad.

I will tell you what - I had an Arby's pecan chicken salad sandwich last night and it was surprisingly really really good
