Does it normally have a "freshness seal" ? Mine came without the seal, makes me a bit worried about quality

Sometimes the seal can be a bit loose. Once it came off and stuck to the plastic lid. Have you looked inside to check?

I've been ordinary this product online for the past year and it has never come with a seal inside. The product is great. You don't need to return it.

Mine was fine opened and covered in the refridgerator for a few months. Probably not the best idea, but it was fine. I have another brand unopened on the shelf, last I opened one it was fine.

I just received mine and it looks like the box had already been open and there was no kind of seal on the tube!

I have received it in similar packaging and also their used to be a Silica pack in it or something similar for freshness which I am not seeing anymore...Anyone has any recommendations?

Mine wasn't sealed other than the shipping packaging. Once you smell it you won't care lol

No, mine came fine and new (sealed). You should send it back for exchange or refund. don't wait!I like this oil, the taste is not as strong as say extra virgin coconut oil.

I kept it in my pantry but I used mine every day (1/2 teaspoon) every morning till it was gone. Never had a problem with freshness.

I honestly don't remember when I got it if it had a seal or not. I'd contact the company if you want to be sure.

Yes, it was fresh. I'm really sensitive to rancid smells in foods, and this had a really good aroma. There is a use by date on it, and mine had over a year on it. I keep my stuff in the fridge, so mine lasts a bit longer that way. I also take put mine in a glass jar that I use a vacuum sealer on that I got for wide mouth jars; it from food saver. Really keeps things nice and fresh.

I didn't have any problem with the seal, but I don't know what exactly you are referring to. The seal was in good shape when I opened the top, and it came off without much effort. I hope that helps! David

Hi....it is totally sealed. This is a heavy duty apparatus. It's well worth the $.

This is not normal. When I purchased mines, it came with the aluninum protective seal on it. Which seller did you buy it from? Contact them and let them know about your concern.

Mine did NOT come with a safety seal, and looking at the review I see that I'm not alone in this experience. There was no plastic wrap around the outside of the lid, and no foil seal on the inside. While the lid appeared to be closed, the entire contents of my order were dusted with cinnamon. I just received the order yesterday, and plan to request a replacement/refund from Amazon.

Mine seemed fine, but I found this online regarding things you can look for to determine if it's fresh: http://www.ehow.com/info_8359516_storage-life-raw-cacao-beans.htmlI found the "best by" date on the bottom of the back panel - to the right of the bar code.Hope this helps! I would definitely contact the seller and see about a replacement if it seems bad.

Mine was not sealed down;It should come loose by using your fingers. Mine was easily replaced. If yours is not loose possibly use old knife edge to loosen underneath the seal between jar & seal. Careful not to damage jar.
