Does babybel go bad?

Last Updated: 25th March, 2021

Probably lasts about the same, but is way cheaper and easier to find. Stick with hard cheeses. Soft cheeses made for full refrigeration can go real bad real fast when unrefrigerated. Hard cheese is probably better, but I've also taken Babybel out to Bishop for a 4-day trip and it lasted fine, despite the heat.

Our wax is composed of fully refined paraffin wax, micro-crystalline wax, and a low percentage of Polyethylene. While we do not recommend eating it, if a person or pet accidentally consumes the wax, there will be no harmful effects. The wrapper we put outside the wax on each piece of Mini Babybel cheese is cellophane.

There is no Bisphenol A in the wax. The red wax that wraps Mini Babybel is part of the cheese protection and ensures in all points the functions of a crust.

Can you melt babybel cheese?

HARD CHEESES THAT MELT WELL - OK, the big thing about fat-free cheese is that it doesn't always melt the way we'd like it to. My new favorite cheese that melts PERFECTLY is Mini Babybel Light, also from The Laughing Cow folks. Light string cheese is also great for recipes, but it's better for pizzas than quesadillas.

How can you tell if cheese is spoiled?

Cheese: It smells like sour milk.
If you spot mold on a hard cheese, it's generally safe to cut off the moldy part and eat the rest, since the spores likely will not have spread throughout the cheese. Another sign that a cheese has gone bad is a smell or taste of spoiled, sour milk.
