shelf life before opening?

Container says to store in refrigerator and that shelf life is 8 months. My reading of this is 8 months opened or unopened they are "live" cultures.

Youjin, it will keep about 6 to 8 months...and, since they're live cultures, I don't think it matters if it's opened or not. And you shouldn't try to freeze it.

We kept them refrigerated after opening for a couple of months. Not sure how far you can push that.

If packed in glass jars, a year or so. I've packed mine in glass jars with an oxygen absorber. It seals itself and I've heard that by doing that, the shelf life can be about 5 years.

I usually use it up before the expiration date but as long as you keep the container covered so the contents do not get wet your Fruit Fresh should be good to use. With proper storage, you should be able to use it for a year or so after opening. I tend to agree about indefinite storage. The big thing is keep it dry and store in a dark cupboard.

After opening I would still expect a good life on it 3-6 months if stored really good. But you can refrigerate it or seal it tight but like many things examine it the second time-

Oh, I just saw on the bag that refrigeration is recommended after opening. Oops! They're still good, I've had them for about a month or little more.

Hi, shelf life is typically 1 year from time of purchase (but storing in colder places will help!)Thanks,Green Bulk team

The jar says refrigerate after opening, so that's what I do. It will keep for many months.

I just bought some, and it has a date of 11/15/15 on it (today is 7/7/14). Plenty of time to use it. Also, for the other commenter asking about refrigeration, the bottle does say "refrigerate after opening". There was more info on all of this at their website redboatfishsauce DOT com

No, label recommends storing in a cool, dry place. Does not mention "refrigerate after opening"!

I don't think there is a shelf life. I keep these in my garage in three-digit weather in the summer (Sacramento) and have not had any issues with spoiling or degradation due to the heat. There are a few left in the box and they have been through one summer and one winter so far with no issues.

Hi everybody! Shelf life is 12 months unopened and six months after opening if stored under cool and dark conditions. I keep it in the original box on my vanity and it's good for a long time.

Unopened bag will store almost indefinitely keep it in a cool place. I put the open bag in a mason jar and have stored it in my refrigerator up to two years without noticeable deterioration. Be sure to proof your yeast as you use it, that is the best way to know your rise will be right. Hope this helps, John

Label says "for best results, refrigerate after opening". Apparently it lasts a very long time.My mistake. It says 6/15/15 which would be about 2 years after purchase.

Hi Cheri,It is suggested that you refrigerate this product after opening. If opened and left on the counter top the shelf life is 40 days. If opened and kept in the refrigerator the product will stay fresh and potent for many months.
