Royal basmati rice 10 pound bag kept in the fridge for 19 months .Is it still good?

Rice keeps for years with no deterioration without refrigeration. My partner is Indonesian and we eat rice every day. Often buy up to 30 pounds on Amazon and store in a cupboard in our garage where it is relatively cool and dry. It should not be stored where is will absorb moisture.

yes, true basmati rice needs to age atleast 1 year to have flavor. Rice as long as kept dry and pest free can be stored for years.

Rice does not go bad unless bugs get into it or something. No need to refrigerate rice either.

Yes, as long as it has been dry. I always buy in large bags and just store it in covered jars. No need to refrigerate rice.

I have not tried storing in fridge, but I do believe it will still be good. I hope this helps.

Personally, I kept my first bag for 3 years (or longer) on the lower door shelf of my refrigerator and had no problems, at all! My second bag I kept for almost 2 years in the same place. I still tasted the strong brute flavor in my homemade ice cream and brownie recipes, which are chemical free. Love it! I didn't pay attention to expiration dates--just experimented for myself. If it had to stay 5 years in my fridge, I'd still use it. That's how confident I am in this product, based upon my usage. Hope this helps.

I believe mine showed to be about a year, by the date on the bags. But, if you pack it in a Mylar bag, with an oxygen absorber, it will keep for many years. I have several bags of various gluten free flours (Rye, dark rye, all purpose, coconut, oat, almond, and sweet white rice) packed in Mylar with O2 eaters, and stored in food grade buckets. If there's no SHTF situation, I will probably check it for freshness in about 5 years.

There is a "Best By" date stamped on container which was approximately ten months out from when I received the product. I am a couple months past that date now but the product still tastes fine.

All Royal Canin dry foods have a shelf life of one year. I only buy one 10 lb bag which last 3 months for my yorkie. I don't keep in the bag, I store it in a airtight sealed dog food container. I don't remember the expiration date, but I do know it was more than 3 months. I would recommend if it a small dog to buy a 1 beg! If more than one dog 2 beg. All Royal Canin dry foods have a shelf life of one year. Product is best fed within one month of opening, but will be suitable for use for up to a few months as long as the bag is sealed and properly stored. You can freeze dry food if it is kept in an airtight container. Bags of food left open will absorb moisture from the air, potentially resulting in mould growth on the food when it is removed from the freezer. This is a particular concern in hot, humid conditions. Pet food should be stored in a cool, dry place and bags should be carefully resealed after each feeding. I find the air tight containers the best way to keep it. I hope this will help.

I've been buying the one-pound bag for years, 3 pounds at a time. (I'm wicked addicted.) I keep them frozen, and don't notice any deterioration over a three-month period. About once a week I put enough in a sealed jar to last me about the week.

That's not an expiration date, that is the date when it was made. It will still be fresh, because it's in a sealed bag.

It stays fresh for a good while. While Earl Grey tea is obviously more flavorful when it's first opened, you'll still enjoy it several months later. The bag seals quite well.

I have used it a year ago and have some in my cupboard but haven't used it since. Sorry, can't tell you about whether it's shelf life it a year and still good. I will likey try to use it this year. It is sealed so should be good.

It looks like about 1 1/2 to 2 years. Once opened keep refrigerated. Caution: This caused me extreme GI distress for about 6 hours.

We go through a two pound bag in 8-10 weeks after opening, and have noted no change in flavor or hint of rancidity over that time. The bag has a resealable zip-lock closure that seems to work well at excluding oxygen and preserving freshness.

The last batch I bought was October 2012. The "best if used by" date is July 2014. I order this regularly and it is GREAT! Just store unused bags in freezer or fridge. Lasts forever.

I'm guessing that you can. If I didn't have a dog, or, a rice container, I would still purchase it to store my 50 lbs rice, instead of leaving in the bag. The seal helps keep ants out. However, for any foodstuff, you may want to check the expiration date, and if you store it, it doesn't get "stale". For me, rice would be good, since it is our staple for daily consumption, so never will get "bad".

I've kept the bag on the pantry shelf and it has stored just fine for almost a year. No noticeable spoilage. But I'm no expert. (Never even considered the fridge as I keep all my dry baking goods in the pantry.)

I bought two 4 pound packages in January 2014. I refrigerate the opened bag, and the unopened bags are stored in my cooler basement. The bags have a 'sell by' date of 12/12/15 and do indicate that it keeps best refrigerated or frozen, but I think as long as they are not opened, they should be fine on shelf. Considering how long they might sit on a retailer's shelf, I think regular storage is fine as long as used by sell by date. I have not had any problems with this approach, and consume about one bag per month.

This lasts my wife and me 2 months and we eat it every lunch and dinner. It has not spoiled and I would think it would not if you eat it in 18 months or so. I am no expert though.

Personally, I have never refrigerated this almond flour and I've never had any issues with it. I keep it in a cabinet under the counter in the kitchen and one bag generally lasts me about 3 months. I love this brand and definitely recommend it.
