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?

You have nothing to fear, I have bought it both in the store and online, and neither had a seal. It's perfectly fine.

Hello- it had a seal on top- inside of product- at least mine did. Hope this helps!

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.html I 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.

I did not find any lids or caps in the box/ packing that would seal in freshness . They were very similar to what I have seen in restaurants.

Not sure if it's organic, but I am sure that mine wasn't sealed when I received it....very poor sealing process or just old maybe. Seal was only sticking in one small spot...so who knows what's in there?

I just received a new one today from Amazon and the top does not seal at all. The lid fell off in the shipping box. Am returning it for replacement and hoping that the next one seals properly, otherwise I'll have to purchase it somewhere where I can test it before buying.

When I got mine I opened it slowly and carefully and could hear the vacuum seal break. So it was sealed and I didn't have a issue using it.

Hi John, Your product should be sealed. If it isn't, please contact Amazon so they can send you a replacement. Mike

Mine was in original packaging and sealed with factory seal - no issues. Just reordered my second bottle.

Mine came the same way (unsealed), but everything appears to be factory fresh.

Mine has never had a seal. Of course, it has never leaked so I never thought twice about it. However, I could see this happening especially during shipping. I would just talk to Amazon Customer Service. It seems like they would accommodate a request to exchange for a new bottle.

I don't recall that the seal was "airtight" once opened, and the inside did not have an extra lining. It seemed to "keep" very well, but I supposed you could break it up and vacuum seal what isn't used in the near term.

Mine came with a seal cap when I bought it in 2012. I hadn't used it since then, so I went to my garage to check on it. There was some dried product under the cap, so I cleaned it out with a screwdriver. Once I removed the dried material the rest of the product in the tube was still wet and usable.

I don't know. I finished both my containers and disposed of them. If you already have bought it and cannot find the info on the container, then just go by how fresh it is. I had no problem with freshness.

no I haven't experienced those issues. Perhaps the poor seal is to blame, I would return and try another shipment.

It does not bear a seal. It does state it is solvent free, 100% purity and made by halal. Hmmm perhaps they should either become organic certified or change their advertisement.
