Common questions

How long do jars or pouches last in the fridge?

2–3 days after opening.

How can I tell if jars or pouches have gone bad?

Throw it out if it smells off, feels slimy or sticky, shows mold, or has changed color. Storage times assume it was handled safely and kept cold the whole time.
