Also other tips to prolong your shortening is to store in cool dark place like the pantry, away from the stove or other appliances.
When in doubt, toss it out if you are unsure and purchase a new one.
Here are answers on Crisco's own site:
Crisco's site lists a year for opened Crisco stored under ideal conditions. If you are talking about the canned Crisco, I wouldn't keep it more than 6 months. The canned version is hydrogenated; that means it has air whipped into it.
You do not say can, stick or oil but most people think of canned when Crisco name is mentioned.
I do not do a lot of frying or baking so Crisco (can or oil) stays with me for a long time. I do not buy ahead so I plan on when to buy and after opening, I date it, top it with saran wrap before cover and place it in my refrigerator. I check my refrigerator contents every month and discard whatever is past its prime.
If you inspect the can or package it will list a "use by" date. For further info, I would Google it.
