How long does it take for the product to spoil after I open it and keep it at room temp?

It normally takes me 4-5 months to get through the whole 3 lb. container. I just leave it on top of the fridge and it's fine. Just scoop it out as you go with a dry tbsp or scoop and I assume it would be fine for a very long time.

Good question, I leave it on the counter and have had no spoil or mold issues.

It usually has about a two year expiration date. It states to keep it refrigerated and use within 90 days after opening.

I never do. Just keep it in a cooler place away from the stove. I think the company says it is fine after opened unrefrigerated for up to a month. My last jar was open and unrefrigerated for several months and I am still alive :)

I keep my opened bottle in a cool, but not refrigerated place in the kitchen. I have had this bottle longer than six months, but not yet a year. It appears to be just fine.

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.

Once opened, it should be refrigerated or frozen. Unopened, I've kept it on the shelf for several months without spoiling.

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

It depends on how long you keep it, but it should be fine for a few weeks at room temperature until opened. When I opened mine, I cut it into 3 parts - kept the part I'm using in the fridge and froze the other 2 parts. If your fridge is big enough, you can just keep the whole thing in it.

Sealed, it stays fresh pretty much as long as you would want, even if not kept in the refrigerator. I've never had any go bad, but I would guess months. Open, it will dry out, but I don't expect it to spoil.

I don't have a box of it here, so, I don't know if it has a date, but since this product is made of things like Tea Tree Oil, I don't know that it would spoil very readily. I would check the manufacturer website and maybe call them to confirm.

Refrigerated, indefinitely. At room temp and cyclicly accessed and closed, I'd guess after six months if you haven't used it up, its probably lost alot of its charm other than saltiness. There's no fat or oil in there so spoilage is impeded by the salt. Mine gets used up before the thrill is gone.

I have used it after being a week in the refrigerator and it was fine. I don't know for sure how long you should leave it open in the refrigerator. Hope this helps you.

We ship world wide 365 days per year. In 17 years nothing has ever spoiled. I can remember about 5 years ago, a dietitian from Arizona called to say she just got her order and the bases were about 105F (she actually took their temperature) and everything was perfect. Another instance occurred about 3 years ago when we sent a couple dozen cases of beef base to Hong Kong. It was really a slow ship to China. They were in the hot hold of the ship for over 30 days and all were fine. The products are made to withstand extended periods of high heat like what happens in a chefs' kitchen, where it can reach up to 120F. If, when you open them, you find any separation (natural liquids come to the top) just stir altogether from the bottom to the top to an even consistency and they will not separate after that when refrigerated or frozen. They usually don't freeze so hard that you can't scoop out what you need and return it to the freezer. When stored in the freezer their shelf life is indefinite. To sum up... For the few days the product is in transit there is no problem whatsoever. And, if you ever happen to lose power in your house (say for a week) do not throw out the Minor's - it will be just fine. Hope this helps.

I have not refrigerated it, keep it in a dark, cool pantry, tightly closed and it is fine. Good luck

It takes me about two months to go through the 2-pound bag. I keep it in my pantry at room temperature, and it seems to be fine. We live in Utah, so the humidity is pretty low, but if you keep the bag sealed, it shouldn't matter much.
