What the sources say

For refrigerated almond milk that has not been opened, FoodKeeper gives no number of days and says to keep it refrigerated until the package use-by date.¹

Once opened, FoodKeeper gives 7 to 10 days in the fridge, and the Nebraska Extension chart gives the same 7 to 10 days after opening for non-dairy milk alternates such as almond, soy and rice.¹²

The Nebraska chart says these non-dairy milk alternates do not freeze well, and FoodKeeper gives no freezer time for almond milk.²¹
