The products we sell, although they are dried meat products, are prone to spoilage if they are not kept in the proper conditions. All products are sold in food grade bags or vacuum sealed bags, depending on the product. Our recommendation is that they should be kept in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight and, once opened, consumed within 3 days or before the expiration date, whichever comes first.
