Do these require refrigeration, either before or after opening (if all of them are not used at the same meal, but not yet rehydrated)?

I reclose my box with a clothespin and set back on the shelf. No problem yet. I wouldn't let it set there for 3 or 4 months, but mine gets used pretty quickly anyway.

No. They are not vacuum packed. Just store them in a dry place until ready to use. For long term storage, just seal in mylar or a glass jar with an O2 absorber and they will last 3,000 years in a basement... anything below ground for a stable temperature year round.

No!! They are fully dried and do not need refrigeration, at any time while they are in the dry state. Once you add water and re-hydrating them yes they need to be refrigeration.

No. The labeling information indicates refrigeration only after opening. I have 3 unopened containers in my pantry.

No need to refrigerate. I have several waiting to be made and store them in a cool dry place.

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.

I keep them in a cabinet unopened until I am ready to use them. Once opened I store them in the refrigerator in a closed container.

Even though they can be packed with ice, are they kept refrigerated while in storage before we even purchase them???

I do keep mine refrigerated to preserve the integrity of the product....I feel variations of heat and then cooler temps can make them rancid. Don't know prior conditions before receiving, but this is what I do.

They do not require refrigeration, it says so right on the label. I keep mine in a gallon sized ziploc.

Yes, you should keep them refrigerated once you get them as clearly stated in the instructions in the package. I guess it's OK not refrigerating them for a short period of time. I have bought Kefir starter from a different manufacturer in Japan and they were sold unrefrigerated at a supermarket.

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

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

I have not had any problems with it not being refrigerated. You may want to refrigerate after opening.

No it does not need to be refrigerated. If you notice, in grocery stores, they don't refrigerate them.

No, the Pure Protein Ready to Drink needs no refrigeration. I place a few cansin the refrigerator so they're cool when I'm ready to drink them (personal preference).

i keep mine refrigerated as soon as i receive them until used up this company did not recommend refrigeration but my past usage of other sources have ALWAYS recommended refrigeration.

I don't refrigerate them, and they're just fine. I've been using them for about 8 years. HOWEVER, if you mix them in water and you don't drink it all within say 4 to 6 hours you must refrigerate them or they will go bad. As long as the seeds are dry they are fine for several years, and it doesn't matter if the bag has been opened or not.

I refrigerate mine after opening. Every food blog that uses miso recommends it.Look under the nutrition table and ingredient list. It says Refrigerate after Opening, in italics.
