Tips
  • Keep refrigerated at all times.
  • If freezing, place in freezer before time shown for refrigerator storage has elapsed.
  • If freezing for longer than 2 months, overwrap original store packaging with airtight heavy-duty aluminum foil or freezer wrap or place the package inside a heavy-duty freezer bag in order to prevent freezer burn.
  • Freezer time shown is for best quality only — foods kept constantly frozen at 0° F will keep safe indefinitely.
