How long does your fruit fresh protector last after opening the container?

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.

Good question. I assume indefinitely, but it am not certain. I don't think the contents are time sensitive. Maybe a google search on the chemical ascorbic acid would help.

I have used it over the course of a year after opening it. It seemed to be just fine.

I've had mine a couple months now. I always press the air out before resealing the bag and it stays fresh and dry.

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 use prepackaged salads and the bags work well, keeping the unopened greens fresh for about three weeks although they should be consumed sooner. Once open, the salad should keep for about two weeks. I also pack the green bag into a Debbie Meyer green box and it keeps food fresher even longer. Not as good for strawberries, however!

I usually go through a jar in about a month and a half. It's been good that long. Previously I got a big gallon bucket of the same thing. And as long as it was refrigerated in an air tight bag it lasted over 8 months.

Once opened, I keep it covered in the refrigerator.I have kept an open container for more than three months with no loss in quality

Like the other poster said, my bottle was in the fridge for at least a year before I started using it, and I had already opened it. It was fine. So long as you keep it refrigerated it will last a very long time. I am guessing the acidity level and the fact that it is concentrated, is what helps keep this fresh.

I keep mine in the fridge after opening and only grind right before using. The bag lasts me slightly less than a month, so I never have any freshness issues.

I don't know for certain. I do know that as long as I properly reseal the package it has stayed fresh for as long as I have had it. I generally make the smoothies once or twice a week for my husband and I, and it stays fresh right to the end. Sorry I can't be more specific.

Five or six months is fine, I think. Refrigerating extends the life by about a month I would say (though I've never had mine go bad really, just noticed a slight shift in scent).

I'd guess at least a year. I've used the same container for that long and it was fine

I would imagine you should start to use it up soon after opening to retain the freshness but there isn't a whole lot of product so it does not takes years to do this! (It will be gone within a few months of use if used regularly.)

Yes, the fruit stays fresh for about 7 to 10 days before you would need to change the fruit. Just keep adding water as you empty the pitcher each day and then change out the fruit in 7 to 10 days.

Hello,This is a product that is best used while fresh. When properly stored, you may look forward to a shelf life of at least a week.Thank you!

DEF has a shelf life that averages from 1-2 years when stored properly (40-80 degrees optimum) It can expire quicker if not stored properly & ultimately throw "poor DEF quality" codes on your DIC. The container should have a batch date on the box/container, you can base how fresh it is on how well you store it. For example: if you store it in your laundry room closet and temps in your home are typical: 2 years without it going bad. If you leave it outside: 4-8 months. If you store it in your garage depending on the temps that fluctuate: 12-16 months.

I use mine anywhere from 4-6 weeks until its gone. A few days after opening seems extreme. I looked at my box again and it says to discard after 6 weeks of opening.

Same here. I used some at Christmas, and refrigerated the remaining container. Still fine. Based on similar products, as long as you keep it sealed and refrigerated after opening, it will last many months
