ORRVILLE, Ohio, July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The wait is officially over. If you’ve ever raced to the freezer for your favorite Uncrustables sandwich and anxiously awaited the perfect thaw, this one’s for you.

Uncrustables, the iconic brand known for its beloved crustless sandwiches, today announced that its entire portfolio is now officially fridge friendly — giving fans the flexibility to choose how they store Uncrustables at home. Refrigerate them (for up to five days) for grab-and-eat convenience or keep them in the freezer for longer-term enjoyment.

Fridge friendly means that while Uncrustables will continue to be sold in the freezer aisle, fans can now enjoy them straight from their fridge at home with no waiting time required, or store them in the freezer, offering convenience.

“Our fans have been clear: they want Uncrustables ready whenever they are,” said Jess Fair, Vice President, Marketing at The J.M. Smucker Co. “Making our full lineup fridge friendly gives consumers the opportunity to store Uncrustables in their refrigerator at home after purchase, which means less waiting and more enjoying. You can skip the wait and get straight to the good part: the one and only Uncrustables sandwich you love, ready when you are.”

What’s Changed

Not the sandwich, just the wait. Uncrustables are still found in the freezer aisle and are made with the same Unbeatably Soft Bread baked without artificial preservatives and the same classic flavors and taste that fans expect. The difference? More flexibility and more choice at home. You don’t have to plan ahead anymore.

Fans can now choose what works best for them: store Uncrustables in their fridge at home for up to five days for immediate enjoyment, or keep them frozen for longer-term storage, just like always. Enjoy the same great taste and texture, whether stored in the fridge or freezer.

Why Fans Are Excited

Fridge friendly Uncrustables make it easier to enjoy your favorite sandwich in the moments that matter — whether you need a quick breakfast before heading out, a last-minute lunchbox addition, or a snack in-between meetings. You have choice and flexibility to enjoy an Uncrustables sandwich on your schedule — whether you grab it from the fridge with no wait needed or pull it from the freezer to thaw for later.
