I have an unopened Sabra brand hummus with an expiry date of April 2019. It is not bloated or bubbling and taste like regular Hummus. I am eating it now, would never do this with unpasteurized or home made hummus. 3 months.
I've eaten 3+ week old hummus, and it tastes just as good! Hummus may dry out a little if uncovered, or develop spots of mold, but these are superficial nuisances. Once removed, you can still enjoy the rest of the container. You'll know the hummus has gone bad if it tastes sour.
Personally, I'm OK eating hummus that's more than a week old (when I buy it I usually get it from Trader Joe's). The texture might suffer a little but it's still OK to eat.
