I see several people have complained about this being shipped without a cold pack and arriving spoiled/rancid. Has Amazon resolved this problem?

Since it is preserved meat it does not need refrigeration until opened. If it went rancid the stick was extremely old and/or a bad batch that needs to be sent back. I've kept a stick in my pantry nearly a year before opening and transferring the rest to the refrigerator. It was fine after a year.

I have had almost abt 8 separate deliveries of this product and never had that problem...I did with something else and it was immediately resolved...

This is cured meat. The likely hood of spoiling is slim unless it takes weeks at high temps to get to you.

Pepperoni is cured so does not need refrigeration until you break the seal. I have ordered this item (3 sticks per order) three times and have had no problems. We never refrigerated the pepperoni sticks until we cut them open. We have found it to be the best tasting and quality pepperoni and will continue to purchase it through Amazon.

Mine arrived just fine. Wal-Mart puts them on the shelves for sale without any kind of refrigeration.

I just ordered this in the summer. It arrived in an uninsulated box with no ice - and was simply a bag of pricey chocolate ooze. I'd say stock up in the winter or find a seller that ships with an ice pack.

We do not ship via Amazon. We fulfill our own from the factory 3 miles away. It is fresh from their freezers in the morning the day we ship it to you.

Order from Vitacost.com. They ship with a cold pack. Watch your mail for when it arrives so it doesn't sit there.

nope :) Possibly a box was damaged in shipping. I was very pleased with the 6 pack I bought and had delivered and now that I'm reminded of tapioca, I think I'll make some up.

No, it does not ship cold. I don't believe their are any preservatives. Container is sealed.

Yes...BUT... Like all unprocessed oils cold preserves the integrity of the omega 3 content (I keep mine in the freezer for maximum preservation because it stays liquid), however, unlike most perishables it does not need continuous cold to prevent spoiling. This is why it can be shipped in a normal box. As long as it is kept cold most of the time and especially after it is opened it will be fine (same goes for flax oil). If it gets warm after opening it needs to be used up pretty quick or it will start to go bad. I recommend alternating between hemp and flax for maximum omega fatty acid nutrition.

I am not from amazon, but wanted to let you know they are not shipped cold (no ice packs in package with bottle). Hope this is somewhat helpful.

Hi Marcy, we are happy to help! Air, heat, and light are the three elements necessary to cause a product to go rancid, according to Barlean's Customer Support. Barlean's does not ship their products refrigerated. They state that their products are stable up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and their take on shipping is that a few days in a UPS truck is not going to have an effect on their organic oils. It is not necessary to refrigerate their oils until the bottle is opened, exposing the oil to air and light. We hope this helps! -Jessi V.

Hello Kristina, No, we do not ship with cold packs. However, the manufacturers are aware that products are not going to be refrigerated 100% of the time, especially with companies having to ship the products, and the bacteria exceed the label claims at the time of manufacture to ensure that the bacterial are still viable and as quoted on the label up until their expiration date. We hope this information is helpful! Best in Health, Jessi V.

AThis item is not cold shipped. As the item always is kept in climate controlled facilities with us and the shipping carriers. In the amount of time it takes to deliver, it will not affect the product

From what I remember, the pressing date was a couple of months before delivery. I don't think the product (or any Amazon food product requiring refrigeration) is kept at a low enough temperature for the product in question.

Hello John! As with most other supplement companies, we do not ship products with a cold/ice pack. Manufacturers are aware that products are not going to be refrigerated 100% of the time during transit, therefore the amount of organisms exceeds the product label claim to ensure that by the time the product gets to you, it will still contain the amount indicated on the label. We hope this information is helpful! Jessi V.

It depends where it's coming from, I never had a problem with the Vitamin Shoppe, but unless Amazon has corrected the problem with storage in their warehouse it not packaged correctly and is questionable.
