I can not answer this question from past experience. I have read a bit on baking with yeast and yeast storage and I keep reading that yeast can be frozen for over a year or so...plus I would think you can add on additional time with the expiration date. It is a lot of yeast but if you bake one loaf of bread every two weeks and use two packets of yeast for each loaf of bread then you could use this up in two years. Just trying to put it into perspective. Hope this helps.

No need to freeze. Store it in a dry cool place. I keep mine in the same cabinet as the pots and pans. There are 2 adults in my household and we bake one loaf of bread every week.

It should last many months to a year in the freezer. http://www.thekitchn.com/longer-lasting-yeast-store-dry-yeast-in-the-freezer-179315 (btw, i was surprised too when i got a big box of them haha)

Sorry. ;) I'm keeping them outside, and i've used about half of them, and they still seem OK. Maybe just put them in a cool, dry place?

I don't know. They are a dry product mine have expired yesterday they are in the cabinet and I will be using them soon. When you use them you make them soft in warm water. I don't know how long they will last and I don't know if you would want to freeze them or if it would make a difference. Here is their site but, it doesn't give that info either. http://www.staranisefoods.com/

Only one person on here is right, these packs stay cold forever without refreezing them. Anyone who keeps them in the freezer is just wasting energy. They use nano-size perpetual motion devices as minature a/c units and vent through osmosis.

As packaged they should last awile. If you open it to see what's in it, you might want to put it in the freezer. I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone.

Mine had only a couple of weeks before expiration, and my use was a month away, so I froze them.Didn't work. They won't mix well.They were also much cheaper at Samsclub.

Sorry I do not have this information. I repackaged them to freeze and to be honest I do not remember any on the package I received.

I love them frozen but you have to be very careful not to break a tooth or pull a cap off your teeth. They don't freeze totally hard.. As far as the number that are in the 5# bag, I would estimate about 900 - 1000. That's a hard question without counting each bear. I can assure you there are plenty. You would not be disappointed.

I bought some on 9/23/14 and have run into several that lasted only a couple hours. Looks like we bought from the same lot. Still have some left but have not encountered any more short-lived ones for some time. All the bad one were from the same package. Probably not worth the time and effort to contact iCellTech.

I go through a 4# package in about three months and the last few are pretty much the same. I do wrap them tightly and keep them in refrigerator.

I've ordered over 120 packs at one time and lasted me over 2 yrs. I do not know the expiration date, but I keep them in the refrigerator.

Not long, a couple of hours. But I use them at work so I put them in the freezer before I leave for the day so I am not sure on the exactly how long.

They last probably 30 min or so, not warm yet but maybe not cold enough to be effective. I try and use them for 20 min before throwing them back in the freezer.

Only time mine didn't freeze in 12 hours all the way, was when they were kind of insulated between some other stuff with another bag on top of it. Overnight, it froze the rest of the way. Try moving it in your freezer. I bought some more because they are awesome.

Interesting question. I just pulled one out of my freezer to look at. I'm not sure, but it looks like about 3oz to me. Really hard to tell. They are fairly thin, which I like since they fit in the kids lunch boxes easily and don't add bulk. And if the liquid expands, as ice does, it may look like less liquid when thawed. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. There wasn't anything on the packages or packs themselves to say how much was in there.

Ours were packaged in groups of 5. I agree with Karen... When you open a package keep the ones you aren't using in a ziplock bag, squeezing out excess air. I would say that they would last a while this way because there will be no odors to absorb.

Excellent question - I'm sorry - should have given feedback. I expected this was a 10 pack - very disappointed when only one arrived. DO NOT buy from this supplier. I only did when my local supermarket ran out of stock and didn't restock. Completely overpriced!

I always order at least three packs. I put the two extra in the freezer until I am ready for them . I have NEVER had any problem with this. Even the third pack always tastes the same as the first pack and I have never had any adverse affects or stomach problems. So the answer is: a very long time!
