spoiling? Does anyone know how long an opened container of Tart Is Smart will last before spoiling in the refrigerator?

I have been getting cherry juice in the concentrate for years. One seller said it will stay good for 1 month after opening in the fridge. Also this can be put in the freezer and will stay good for a year, and it will pour right out of the freezer so I never have to thaw it out. This is what I do since it takes me a month to finish a quart bottle.

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

I kid you not it will spoil, each bottle i have purchased has had a expiration stamped on them...some people keep them regrigerated i don't see any reason to though

We go through this product somewhat quickly, but I store this product on a pantry shelf for 2-3 months with no noticeable quality difficiencies. Your mileage may vary. I've never tried the fridge, but I've never refrigerated cream of tartar from a store either.

Once opened, I keep it covered in the refrigerator. I have kept an open container for more than three months with no loss in quality

No. It will be fine up to a year IF properly sealed. I would not put in in the fridge due to the potential for off odors and flavors to creep in if the bag seal is compromised. Mine is stored in tins and double zip lock pouches. This stuff is so good that it never lasts long enough to tell actual shelf life.

They have yet to spoil. Been open about 3 weeks. I keep them in the refrigerator.

It says in the listing, "Store up to 1 year. If jars do not completely seal, refrigerate and consume within one week.Serve it! Pour into containers and let cool. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving. Refrigerate up to 1 week."But I have canned many things that last longer than a week in the fridge once opened. I think it would depend on how well they were processed, how clean the utensils that are dipped in it during use are, and how well it is sealed up in the fridge. Those practices will help it last longer.

There should be a date on the box or carton, once opened it should be consumed within 7 days. The non-refrigerated type usually have a several month shelf life before opening.

The only ingredient listed is: "Montmorency Red Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate." It needs to be refrigerated after opening. The expiration dates I've received have ranged from 6 months to 1 year from purchase; these were from different vendors. The bottle I have in the refrigerator is one I opened back in October 2013 and although it still tastes good, it doesn't seem as "perky" or "bright" or "fresh" in flavor as it did when I first opened it. Since I only use it as a flavoring, it doesn't get used up as fast as someone drinking it as directed on the label: "Use 1 oz (2 Tb) night and morning."

I froze half and used them 4 months later. The frozen tarts were just as tasty as when they first arrived. Just remember to put them in the fridge to bring to temperature and then bring them to room temp - don't go right from the freezer to room temp.

3 to 6 months depending on the manufacturing date and what the manufacturer ships to the warehouse. We've had cartons turn up with as little as 8 weeks life on them. Because this is a perishable product, it is best stored in the refridgerator and we recommend that you plan on consuming the full product within 8 weeks. If you get a box with a longer use by date on it then treat it like you just won the lottery. But plan on getting at least 8 weeks life out of each box.

Not sure on shelf life, but I've kept mine in the frig over a year and it is fine. Just make it is well sealed so it doesn't pick up other flavors. I have two fridges so I keep it with the beverages. Hope this helps some.

I've had an opened one in the refrigerator in a ziplock bag for at least a month and a half and it still tastes the same as it did when I first opened it. The shelf life for the unopened packages are supposed to be 9 months. I've only had mine for about 2 but they still look just like they did when I got them.

Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 months. In the refrigerator, it can last up to a year.

I dont know the shelf life of an un opened bag. I go through the 4 pounds about every 4 months and even the last one opened seems fresh as the first one. I have not had a problem with spoilage. They are dry seeds, dont see any need for refrigeration.
