Are they kept cold while in storage (before being shipped)?

They aren't packed in any way to keep them cold, I just put them in the refrigerator as soon as we get them.

I don't know, but I doubt it. I don't think you have to refrigerate until after opening the seal. I didn't do that anyway because I forgot to take them. I didn't notice any weakening of the product as a consequence though.

Yes, unopened is absolutely the best way because they don't last super long otherwise (ask me how I know). I am almost 100% sure they do not have to be refrigerated while still unopened.

They are freeze dried so refrigeration is not required. I ordered mine at Christmas last year and they are still fine.

I store mine in the freezer. I would imagine if they are sealed properly they will keep Indefinitley, mine have been in the freezer for a year or so and are as good as the day I put them there.

They should be kept in an air tight container -- but you could store them in the fridge or even the freezer. Albanese also has a website you could visit for details or questions. http://www.albanesecandy.com/

I assume not, they didn't show up refrigerated and it doesn't say to do so on the package. I keep mine in the cabinet and they are just fine.

The storage handling on the label states to store at controlled temperatures. It would be assumed that shipping and handling should also be at controlled temperatures. However, "controlled temperatures" is not clarified. I store mine where it will be cool and not frozen or subject to hot temperatures.

They are supposed to be stored at cool temps & I received mine in a super hot box. Whatever live bacteria existed were destroyed without a doubt. They should ship them with cold packs. I returned them for this reason & the replacement arrived exactly the same plus was left out in the sun. Would be great if they took care of their product. I won't be ordering again.

Yes, they arrive frozen. There is a frozen date and expiration date stamped on each package. Mine are two years apart. So, I think it's safe to safe about two years.

I think they would be OK if they are airtight. Mine have been fine on the shelf as long as they are unopened, so I haven't frozen them. They get sticky if left exposed to the air.

No, but I leave them on the fridge or in a ziplock plastic bag to store for later use.

Yes I put a weeks worth in the fridge at a time so they are nice and cold. Just don't freeze them is the only storage caution.

No. These products are room temperature stable and are not shipped in cold pack.

Yes, once it is opened i believe it must be kept cold. It does not need refrigeration while still sealed though.

Yes! I store mine in a jar with a screw on lid in my pantry. DO NOT chill or freeze, please.

We don't refrigerate ours. They are on a high shelf in our pantry, dark and cool. Not that it matters.

I refrigerate them in the bag they came in. Take out what you need and let them warm before use. I dip them in clonex solution before use
