How long can opened jar food be stored?
⚡ Short answer: Jar food that's been touched with a spoon lasts maximum 24 hours in the fridge; if you scoop a portion into a separate bowl without letting a spoon touch the jar, it keeps up to 48 hours.

My baby ate half of the jar food. How long can I keep the rest in the fridge—does it matter if a spoon touched it?

If a spoon has touched the food, keep it in the fridge no longer than 24 hours maximum. When a spoon goes in with mouth contact, saliva enzymes transfer to the food and speed up bacterial growth—so reheating and giving it again isn't safe.
Here's a practical habit: scoop only what you need into a small bowl for each meal and keep the rest of the jar untouched. This way, the jar food stays fresh for up to 48 hours.
