HONEY, PURE, LIQUID, COMMERCIALLY BOTTLED — UNOPENED OR OPENED
Pantry
2 years best quality (safe indefinitely)
Tips
Store in cool, dry area and keep tightly covered.
Storage time shown is for best quality only — after that, the honey's color or flavor may change, but it will remain safe to consume indefinitely if it has been stored properly.
Over time, the honey may become cloudy and crystallize — this is not harmful; the honey will still be safe to consume if it has been stored properly.
If honey crystallizes, place the honey jar in warm water and stir until the crystals dissolve.
Refrigeration is not recommended, as it accelerates the crystallization process.
After prolonged storage, honey may darken in color and lose some of its flavor.
