How long do raw kabobs last in the fridge?
Assembled raw kabobs get 1–2 days in the fridge — the meat sets that clock, not the peppers, so grill them fast or freeze them for 3–4 months.
How long does it keep?
| Fridge, from purchase | 1–2 days |
|---|---|
| Freezer, from purchase | 3–4 months |

Can it sit out?
Raw kabobs is perishable — the FSIS 2-hour rule applies.
Perishable food left at room temperature for more than 2 hours should be thrown out — 1 hour if it’s 90°F or hotter (a picnic, a hot car, a summer kitchen).
How to tell if raw kabobs has gone bad
- A sour smell off the tray of skewers
- A slimy coat on the meat cubes
- Vegetables gone limp and weeping down the skewer
- Cloudy liquid pooling under the kabobs
When in doubt, throw it out.
Cook to 145°F and rest 3 minutes — check a cube from the middle of a skewer, not the end nearest the heat.
