Can you feed from the same bag over the course of a few days and refrigerate what is left? Otherwise it would seem like such a waste of the bags.

Unless you live in a particular infectious environment, such as somewhere outside of the more developed countries, or you are ridiculously overworried and want to raise your baby in a bubble, standard food safety rules apply. If you would eat something, then refrigerate the leftovers, then it's fine to do the same for baby food. This assumes you're making your own baby food, which I highly recommend, and you don't have to worry about chemical preservatives or micro-organisms from outside your home.

Yes, I use the same rule of thumb as the pre-packaged pouches and refrigerate any uneaten portion for 2 days before discarding.

Registered nurse once told us that to throw the food away once it has come in contact with baby's saliva. If you'd like to save the food for multiple feedings then it's better to pour it out into a bowl and use spoon to feed the baby instead.

I keep a backlog of about 5 bags. No problem with shelf life. To be honest I never look at the expiration date except to make sure I'm preparing the oldest first.

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 is unsafe to re-use any kind of bag in cooking, especially sous vide. Don't do it. Just consider them an expendable item.

Generally I always used within 8hr. But is more due to need than schedule. However, if it was more than 24hr & I only had some left, I threw it out - why bother taking chances. Definitely refrigerate - these thing smell & taste bad in my opinion, opened without refrigeration or cold weather, I don't think is a good idea.

We ate 1 of the 5lb bags throughout 4 months and they were just as good as when we first opened. If they're properly sealed I'm sure they will be fine by July. And maybe not refrigerate them, because when they warm up again they don't taste the same.

I am not an expert, but I freeze the bag and take out and fill a shaker so it lasts longer! Hope this helps.

It comes in a bag and doesn't need to be refrigerated. Cook the whole bag and if you don't eat it all, you can put leftovers in the refrigerator.

Yeah, these are like what they put in shoes at the store. The entire bag will not be ruined if you open it just make sure you store in an airtight place. You can heat them in the oven to dry them out for reuse.

Refrigerated after opening in a sealed bag. It should last until you use it up.......

Not really....food would go in feeder...either frozen, refrigerated, or room temp.....you can use the freezer packs to preserve it for hours or about one day....day & half, max.

Technically, yes. But you may not want to if they have remains from the previous food. Also, the bags are getting shorter every time, because you need about 1 1/2 from the old seam to seal it again

Yes, if you store them in the freezer or fridge they will be fine. I buy the 2, 5 pound bags to save a bit of money. I freeze one bag and store the other one in the Deli drawer in the refridgerator. I have never had a complaint or an issue with them. Hope that helps.

Well, I've never tried to do that, but most similar snack food bags are made of Mylar or some other sort of synthetic material, so it may be possible. I didn't notice anything in the manual advising against it.

I'm not sure. Honestly, it never lasts long enough to have to refrigerate. It's always gone by the end of the evening. Sorry! If it ever lasts long enough to refrigerate, I will try to update.

No need for refrigeration, they've lasted a couple of weeks in the pantry opened....(it comes in a .zip resealable bag). I've never had a bag no longer than two weeks before it was fully eaten, and they were still very fresh...

Not that I am aware of only thing I have had to help is store in refrigerator. I make bagels and if you don't eat them all in a couple days you have to put them in refrigerator.
