What is the shelf life of both frozen and freeze-dried products?
The fresher any food is, the better tasting and more nutritious it is. Individual quick freezing (flash freezing) and keeping the food frozen is the best way to preserve nutrition and taste. Steve’s Real Food frozen varieties, as long as it remains frozen, can remain in your freezer for a year. (Please check our best if used by date). Once the raw food has defrosted in the refrigerator it will last for about 3 – 4 days and given in a bowl at feeding time, it should be fed within four hours. Our freeze-dried products are packaged in a high-barrier foil bags with an oxygen absorbing package. If kept in a cool, dry location and unopened, the shelf life is eighteen months. Once the freeze-dried bag has been opened, if the products are sealed and kept in the pantry or cabinet they will be good for about 14 days, in the refrigerator 21 days and in the freezer for about 30 days.
