Storage & Serving

Freezer, fridge, thawing, and mealtime. 4 answers.

Mains: Put the pouches straight into the freezer. About 24 to 48 hours before you need one, move a pouch to the fridge to thaw.

Drizzles: Keep unopened bottles at room temperature. Once opened, refrigerate and use within 2 weeks. (We doubt it'll last that long.)
In the freezer: up to 1 year. Check the date on each pouch.

In the fridge, once thawed: use within 4 days. If it's past that, or looks or smells off, toss it.

In the bowl: pick up anything left out after 2 hours (1 hour if it's over 90degF).
Thaw a pouch in the fridge for 24 to 48 hours. At mealtime, scoop their portion into a clean bowl, add a Drizzle if you have one, and serve. That's dinner.

Prefer it less chilly? Let the bowl sit out for a few minutes. Please don't microwave it, heat it, or thaw it in hot water. Heat can break down some of the nutrients that make each meal complete and balanced.
Once a pouch has fully thawed, don't refreeze it. Keep it in the fridge and use it within 4 days. To stay ahead, move your next pouch to the fridge about a day before you finish the current one.
