A - Seafood products that are vacuum-sealed are in an air-free environment, thus they are protected from dehydration or freezer burn. If the package keeps its integrity, the quality should remain the same as the day the product was packaged. All seafood, if stored properly in a freezer, can be stored for up to 9 months though we suggest all our products are consumed within 3 months, to ensure optimum satisfaction.

The shelf life is 90 days from the manufacture date for lobster, and 120 days from the manufacture date for crab.

The shelf life of frozen salmon is generally "advertised" as six (6) months under commercial cold storage conditions. However, if properly stored at -18?C (0?F) with protection from exposure to air and dehydration, the actual shelf life of frozen salmon can be up to 12 months without quality loss.

We do not recommend long-term freezing as it may compromise the integrity of the coating. The bars are packaged in a stay-fresh wrapper to ensure freshness, so freezing is not necessary. All of our products have a "Best If Used By" date on the label. We guarantee full potency, viability, and flavor of the products if used on or before the expiration date, provided they were stored under normal conditions.

If seafood is kept refrigerated to 38 F or less you still only have a couple of days to consume it. You begin to loose quality from the time the product is thawed, so cook it as soon as you can.

You will find a white sticker under the bottle with the expiry date on it. It is best stored in a cool dark place out of direct sunlight.

The small intestine in a healthy individual is teaming with various strains of acidophilus which Mesosilver may potentially kill if it proceeded far enough through the GI tract. We believe that Mesosilver is absorbed in the first feet of the small intestine and therefore should not progress far enough through the GI to cause any problems.

Oxygen is the staling agent for coffee. In order to maintain freshness, we package our beans in a one way valve-bag immediately after they are roasted. By using the valve-bags, the beans remain fresh for four months. Do not freeze or refrigerate the coffee and store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry area.

Gloria Jean's tea boxes have a date on the bottom of the box; it is a 4-digit number. This is the production date expressed as a Julian calendar. Take the number 3322 for example. The first number 3 in the sequence stands for the year, so it would be 2003. The next three digits are the days of the year. The 322nd day of the year is Nov 18. The shelf life is 15 months from the manufacture date.

The shelf life that we place on our K-cups is a "best by" date for 6 months. The K-cup packaging is packaged with less than 1% oxygen through our nitrogen flush process.

With proper storage and handling, chiller products will last for one month. The product does not become harmful after seven days (assuming it has not been mixed with milk). The shelf life dates on the packaging are there to ensure top quality of the product.

Although there is no expiration date associated with our syrups, we suggest using them within 60-90 days for optimal flavor. Syrups do not need to be refrigerated even after they have been opened. The best way to store syrup is to keep it in a cool, dry place. Is your coffee Kosher? Our coffee is manufactured under strict rabbinical supervision and is certified Kosher and Pareve by KSA, Kosher Supervision of America. Please visit www.ksakosher.com for more information.

If the bottle is unopened, still sealed with it's plastic wrap-around seal, and kept out of direct sunlight, Bee-Quick will remain ready-to-use for years. Once opened, the shelf-life depends upon how tightly you screw the cap back on. The bottle contains only a limited amount of air, and Bee-Quick reacts with air (oxidation/evaporation) to produce Bee-Quick vapors.

The shelf-life for maple syrup is about six months in the refrigerator. The shelf-life for un-coated maple candy is about two weeks on the shelf or in the refrigerator, and for coated maple candy about six months at room temperature. (Coated maple candy should not be kept in the refrigerator.) The shelf-life for maple cream is about two weeks in the refrigerator but it can be stored frozen for a long period of time.

In the original container, the full strength shelf life is over 20 years! The lid must always stay tightly closed so that the powder is not drawing odors from outside the container. The powder form is a "one time use" situation. The powder is best suited for areas where even distribution and quick odor control is desired.
