This is ONE Pound of lard-? It comes as shown in a sealed container-? Any 'use-by' date-? Because I want to use this for storage / camping, etc.

This will last a very long time....After you use it for the first time you must keep it refrigerated....I freeze mine and until I am ready to use it again

I thought that it was way overpriced! There are much more reasonably priced buckets of lard available.

If undamaged, no reason to not use the container after emptied of lard and cleaned. \ Geeo

It is one pound. The container is well sealed. I bought this a few months ago and the best by info says March 5, 2015.

Yes, it comes in the pictured sealed container and states a "Best Buy" date on it, not a Use-By date. It holds very well, I have kept it out in my shed since I ordered it a few months back and it still holds very well.

The simple rule on any oil or grease product, if it has an unusual odor don't use it. Store in a cool dry place and it lasts a very long time, better yet if the refrigerator.

I just got a bag from Amazon two weeks ago. Expires in Feb of 2016. I bought a storage container similar to a cereal container to keep food in and keep it fresh.

Specifically in the Drogheria & Alimentari, it is a date before which the flavor would be guaranteed at its peak. I have however actually used a few jars of this that were "lost" and were 6 years after their data - and their quality was not really affected. Of course, you should be careful to consider that it was at least stored in a dry environment as moisture could cause spoilage - but it would be noticeable. If it's within a couple years and shelf stored it should be ok IMHO.

The unit seems pretty well-sealed to me, and the opaqueness of the container also helps protect the food from light. I fill the container with Science Diet food about every other month, and I've never noticed any negative changes in the food. I would suggest that you start by putting a relatively small amount of food (maybe a week's worth or two weeks' worth) in the container and see how it goes. I promise, it will be worth it!

I have been storing it that way without problem. Note, the inner bag is resealable and I also added a baggie around that.

Hi, on the side of the bottle there is a Lot Number and also a Best If Used by date. It does come sealed inside and outside.I have never had an issue with it not being sealed or with the Lot info and best if used by info on the bottle. Also once opened it should be kept ion the refrig for freshness. My Vet recommended this as it was formulated by a Vet and I love it.I can put it on dry food with no issues or mix in moist & even raw. I love it.If your animal needs a single source of pro-biotic this is not a good choice but that is only known with trial and error. I have my 4 cats on it along with 4 foster kittens and all are doing wonderful! Hi, on the side of the bottle there is a Lot Number and also a Best If Used by date.

I also noticed that the expiration date was just coming due when I got mine. I wasn't overly concerned as it says Best before not expires or do not use after. Also it is hebs, seasoning, salt etc. so again I wasn't overly concerned, not really happy that they were near or at the best by date.

I re-bagged mine when it arrived into quart size ziplocks and stored those in the freezer as I do with any bulk nuts and seeds (since they can go rancid). There is so much conflicting information out there - initially I'd read it was a seed (and this seller lists it as a seed) and then I've seen others (even in this thread answering you) who refer to it is a grain and NOT as a seed; so I error on the side of it being seed, since those can spoil so much faster than grains ever would,and store the quinoa accordingly. I have had mine stored in the freezer for over 2 years and whenever we take some out to cook it looks and tastes just fine.

This is my first experience as well. I understand it can be frozen for several months although you may want to store it in individual packages. The order I received from Amazon came in 2 - 5 lb. packages. Check out the video from the HULU series Julia & Jacques cooking at home. Season 1, episode 17. Also do a net search How to use Caul Fat.

You need to store it in a cool dry place, not refrigerated. I,m sure it gets hot in the transport but unless you can get it local you would have to order. Fast delivery will hopefully prevent to much deteriorization.

Please call company. This plus an expiration date should be on label. You can go to their web site and find it but it took awhile. Look under frequently asked questions. I called and said the info should be on label. Lady said there was no room. I replied that there was lots of room on side or back of container. Perhaps if enough complain they will add the info.

Personally, I believe that it is a misprint. The container is 2.5 lb. (2 lb. 8 Oz.) of powdered malted milk. If the container held 2.5 gallons, it would be huge and most certainly weigh more than 2.5 lb.I was most happy with my purchase (which is long gone) & will shortly more. I don't know why the local supermarkets don't have it !!!!-Marie

It's a pound I presume because in the nutrition section a portion is listed as a quarter pound and there are four servings. There is no freshness date.

I have already used mine but believe it was listed as one pound. It lasted for a considerable time and I thought it was an excellent buy.

I store the 15lb bag of food in our garage. We go through approximately 1 bag every 2-3 months, and store the food in it's original bag in our garage (Minnesota). I don't seem to have a problem with the food going bad (ie. noticed the consistency or color to change or that our Shitzu shys away from the food)

If the lid has been on tight, I think the shelf life is extremely long. Many, many months, a small number of years would be my guess. If you're worried, just get a new bottle, it is relatively cheap and if you're making a gravy out of hard-to-get tasty fat and hard-to-get tasty broth
