How long can they be stored for before going rancid/stale/nutritionally inferior?

I keep them in the freezer in a sealed bag or box and take out only what I need.

around 7 - 9 months in fridge - around a year in freezer... always smell them before you use them - they are oily so can go rancid

We've kept them on the self for more then 1 year. I think the cans say a 1 1\2 to 2 years. If you mean in the fridge after you open it, I would eat it within 2 weeks.

If you can keep them in a Tupperware type container they should last a few days or longer.With this being emergency food you may not be in much of a situation to care about freshness though and I'd think each pack would get consumed pretty quickly after it was opened.

It can pass the expiration date and go rancid. I purchased 2 years ago and mine has NOT done that yet. Keep it in refrigerator to extend life of product indefinitely. Hope that helps...

The shelf life, in optimal storage conditions, states 25 years from date of manufacture. just don't expect flavor with these though. Great for emergencies, not for good food.

To keep them fresh, I put them in a large zip loc bag and kept them in the cupboard. They are dried so there is no need to refrigerate or anything like that. It took me about 3 months to use all of them up and they remained fresh during that time. I would think they could be used much longer as long you keep them in a sealed storage bag. They won't get moldy or spoiled.

I store them in the pantry. I have never had a problem since they are dehydrated and will keep a very long time.

It depends on the temperature that you store them at. regular room temp they are good for between 5-6 years. in the fridge they are good for 7 years. In the hot desert sun they are good for a year or less.

I didn't refrigerate them and they tasted good for at least a week because I kept the bag sealed (I can't remember if I sealed them in its own bag or in a zip lock bag.) But after that I don't know. I forgot about them after that and worried about getting sick so I threw them out. But I know for a week for sure.

I used mine on Sept 1, 2013 and then forgot about them until now. They were refrigerated the whole time but they did not hold up so I would suggest you order them fresh for best results.

I don't, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't... we go through them pretty fast and our pantry is dry, dark and cool. Like any grain/seed/nut, they will spoil. Refrigeration should extend the shelf life, just make sure the container is tightly closed.

My jar didn't say, but I keep it in the fridge anyway to preserve it longer. All natural oils/fats would go rancid unless they have preservative (which you don't want).

I honestly don't think they have a use-by date. They're wheat-based so I'd say they stay fresh for at least 4-6 weeks. I wish I could tell you more but my husband never lets them stay on the shelf too long. He eats them upwell within their expiration date!

I have had them in the fridge for up to 3 months and they were fine. Having said that, however, the one thing that I do is refridgerate right away. If you store the container unrefridgerated there will be a white mold or mold-like substance that forms on the top. The olives won't neccessarily be "spoiled" at that point, but I don't take chances.

As long as they remain sealed in the ziplock bag they are shipped in and stored on a dry cool shelf they should last up to 3 months. Do not refridgerate.

Refrigerate ASAP , good for as long as the expiration date provided on the bottle☺️
