I take one teaspoon of this oil with one teaspoon of Manuka Honey. I keep it in the refrigerator. My question is, does this oil turn rancid?

Been taking it for years and I never refrigerate it. Always kept em in a pantry... Never turned rancid :)

Hi, I just saw this. I've had some in the frig for about 6 months and I haven't noticed any change. I don't know what the manufacturer says, but all oil oxides.

No, it does not. I do not even keep mine in the refrigerator, and it is amazing.

Hi Jim, Thank you for your inquiry. Our castor oil has a traditional nutty and earthy scent due to the handmade process. Rest assure, that it does not have a rancid smell that gives Castor Oil a bad rap. We take great measures to ensure quality and consistency. Many Thanks

I would imagine it's just marked like a food item meaning it's still good after that date, but just best used by the date marked. Being an oil like product (but maybe some preservatives in it), if it's too far past the 'best by date', it could go rancid. You would smell it if it was bad.

Well I am also a first time user, however the smell was not rancid. The smell is not very strong it is hard to description. It smelt like a face oil. I compared the smell to a SUKI oil I had a home.The oil is good quality.

Yes, and don't forget you can pop your popcorn in this oil, as the old-time movie theaters did! Coconut oil prevents popcorn from going rancid, so pop extra for during the week for a quick & healthy snack! :)

It's true oils can become rancid, but it doesn't depend on the product itself, but more importantly, how you store it. Keep it away from heat and light in a tightly closed bottle and you should be fine. If it starts to smell, stop using it.

I suspect it's rancid if it smells like fish oil. Many say that Jojoba has no scent. I disagree--I have a very acute sense of smell and I it has a very distinctive, light, vaguely sweet scent. It reminds me of a very faint aroma of baked goods, like pancakes or waffles (without the syrup.) I have never known it to smell like fish oil.

I have never had a rancid smell in the butter keeper. I have two butter keepers and alternate using them. When the butter is gone in one butter keeper, I rinse it out with hot water and put it in the dishwasher and fill up my second butter keeper. I hope this helps

No, not when compared with other fish oils out there. Just take with food as directed and it won't have any.

Yes that is normal! When the temperature drops or it gets cooler the oil will solidify on its own. If it doesn't solidify; perhaps you live in a warmer area/season, it is still okay. You can pop it in the fridge if you'd like but then it's a little bit harder to scoop out.

this isn't genuine aragn oil, or it's gone rancid. real argan oil isn't supposed to smell like this. mine smells just awful.

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.

The bottle we got to try has a oily smell but not particularly a fish smell. Mixing it with flavored yogurt is how I use it.Keep it refrigerated, I suspect it could get rancid in heat.

It's 100% pure Emu oil. It's got .00022% Vita E so it won't go rancid.. IF you're good in MATH, that's about as pure as you can get.:>)

I keep it refrigerated once I open the bottle . I would suggest that any oil that does not have preservatives in it , it would be best to use it in no more than 6 months . Any oil without preservatives will become rancid over time .

Wow. I do not detect any rancid smell. The oil seems fresh to me and I feel good about taking these. Maybe you got a bad bottle somehow. Maybe try to ask your question to Deva and see what they say.

Know what everything is stainless steel so all you need to do rinse it so the oil doesn't smell rancid. I am very very happy with mine. I am sure you will be too!!!'
