Is the seal adequate to prevent fish oil from becoming "squishy?" Had to stop using another container b/c soft gel vitamins didn't hold up. Thank you!

Yes it is, My fish oil stays firm, I even have gummie vitamins in the mix, and they stay squishy! Great seal, keeps everything where is belongs.

I carry mine to work, traveling, left it in my car, the bathroom .. It basically goes everywhere with me. Fish oil has never become "squishy" but I also have the coated kind. Don't know if that makes a difference.

I keep mine in the fridge and the pills stay fresh. And YES, the seal is adequate. But you could try with another fish oil brand but all gelatin pills become "squishy" if you leave them in a humid and/or hot temperature.

I store my in the refrigrator. I'm a chemist and oil doesn't expand like water. My personal opinion is that you should not have a problem. Upon getting them, you could take a small portion out and test them a couple of days in the freezeer. they should last quite a while in the refrigerator though. Also, the manufacture might help. I love this product. hope you do.

This is the only fish oil capsule that doesn't repeat on me. That being said, my doctor also suggested that I freeze the fish oil capsules. This way, they'll take longer to dissolve once swallowed and you won't get that awful after-taste.

No...there is no official Organic "seal". With that, I do like the oil a lot.........I've been using it for about three months.

Cover does not prevent crispiness. It is not a tight seal, it just prevents splattering. Fish comes out perfect with cover closed.

The manufacturer recommends that you NOT freeze or refrigerate the salmon and fish oils as "it will only cloud the oil and cause it to separate" and "it may cause the gels to harden which may cause you to choke when you take them."

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!

There is no seal on the box or container. I have purchased this item from Amazon numerous times and high end department stores. I think the logical behind this is that the pump action of the container makes it almost if not impossible to contaminate. I have used this product for years, love it........and have never had a problem.

I take so many vitamins that I have to refill compartments often. You may not take that many. There are 8 sections with one larger one that would accommodate your fish oil caplets. I don't know how many but it is convenient, especially for traveling.

Not sure. I was more concerned about the quality of the coconut oil than the container.

I have no idea what Qunol is. Is that CoQ-10? I liked the Krill Oil over the regular fish oils as they were smaller and didn't smell as bad. Krill oil is suppose to be better source of healthy omegas. I kept mine in the fridge and never had any fishy burps.

I do notice a minor fishy smell and perhaps a little change in the taste of my smoothies but really not much. Did you refrigerate after you opened it? I have a small jar I took to work that was not refrigerated and it did get fishier smelling. But still not that bad. I think a little taste, smell and color just comes with the product. This is still by fat the best spiulina product I've ever used and iI have been feeling marvelous!

If you are sealing something soft like fish fillets, they are every bit as good as the Food Saver bags. In fact, I prefer the thinner ones since they're more flexible and can get a tighter seal against the meat. I've gone through a whole roll and have yet to have a seal fail. The vacuum works best when the bags are slightly wet, so splashing a little water in the bag opening helps get a good vacuum.

Have not had any trouble to date. Most of the time, the recommended hot water and detergent method works for me as well. If the ingredients were high in fat or the container sat too long after being emptied, a quick hand-wash is necessary. One thing I'd caution is to not immerse the outside of your base as I think the repeated exposure to detergent is part of the reason the seal on my original container went out.

To make you guys feel better, I just purchased this item at my local Target and, no, there is no plastic seal around the neck of the bottle. IMO, there should be since it's a skin application product and Cetaphil should be aware that we aren't happy about this. I'll contact them via their customer service.

I also had the same problem, had to transfer the entire container to a larger container. I will not buy this brand again, it is very strong and you just can't keep it sealed in the container it came in. I ended up throwing it all out.

Expiration dates may vary, but the company says "best if used within 3 months of opening". With that being the case, you would need two children taking the fish oil so that it can be used within 3 months. I only have one child, so I also take the fish oil. We have had it opened for about 4-5 months now and it is almost all gone...and it still tastes fresh enough to me.
