I read a lot of the reviews and I am a bit confused. Do you keep this product refridgerated before shipping? How is it packaged for shipping?

I presume it is refrigerated prior to shipping as it is recommended to refrigerate upon receiving to keep it fresh. Each bottle came packaged in small bubble pop envelopes but not in cold packs. I don't think it is critical for short term but over longer periods. I ordered about a half dozen of them at once and refrigerated what wasn't being used.

It didn't say on the bottle to refrigerate it, but I keep it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. I like this brand because it is shelf stable so I use it both while traveling and at home.

No refrigeration necessary. I've been using this product for a year and never refrigerated it and there is nothing on the packaging (purchased locally or Amazon--same product) that tells you to do so. Amazon has great pricing!

No, I ordered several times from different vendors via amazon and first two times it was sent with an ice pack, last two times I ordered, product arrived hot and I was unable to give to my son! Called company and they told me unless, ordered from a physician's office, these so called vendors should not be selling this product and the company is not Liable for how long it has been stored or shelved without refrigeration! We have no way of knowing! I would not recommend, better to be safe than sorry!

Yes, I believe it is recommended to keep it in the fridge after opening. Frankly I didn't like the product so whatever purpose you did buy I hope it will be serving you. Good luck. Wish you the best.

I refrigerate mine upon receipt. It is manufactured with more potency than indicated because of it having a shelf life.

Hello Christina, We do not refrigerate this product during shipment. The products are kept in a temperature-controlled environment at our facility right up until the time they're shipped to customers. While extended exposure to high temperatures could have an effect, the shipping time is not long enough to have a significant impact on the quality of the products.

I just purchased this product, and the packaging states "refrigerate after opening."

No you don't need to refridgerate unless you add the liquid that is required to use. This is packaged as dehydrated and add water to use when ready. The shelf life was two years on the ones I received. It is a wonderful product and makes wonderful patties for the BBQ or to make a meatloaf or add sausage seasonings and make sausage crumble. Love it.Thanks B. Kaplan

I bought this product twice, and it did NOT come refrigerated either time. This was last year...I don't know if shipping practices have changed since then.

It comes Vacuum packed so it's important to Refrigerate after opening to maintain quality.And If you have purchased a larger quantity you can even put it in the Freezer.

It is a paste and you have to keep refrigerated after opening. About the best product you can find for fish stock.

Refrigeration is only needed after opening this product to maintain its high potency. However, this product is not shipped refrigerated. Thank You,Customer Service I saw this answer to a customer's question. Where does it say that on the bottle that refrigeration is only needed after opening product?

No. This needs to be refrigerated, but is the best product I have found. There is only one place that ships refrigerated and it is pureformulas dot com. They also have the best prices.

It arrives in the same box--sometimes--with other Amazon products. Not-refrigerated. It works fine for me. Does it really require refrigeration--or just cool storage?
