BuzzBallz are best consumed within one year of its respective production date. Near the bottom of the BuzzBallz, there is a 5-digit code followed by a dash and another single digit. This is called a Julien date and it tells you when the product was made. Take this date for example: 21248 [21] represents the year the BuzzBallz was produced. [248] represents the day the BuzzBallz was produced. 248 is the 248th day of the year, or September 5th.BuzzBallz should be refrigerated after opening if it’s not finished in one sitting. We do not recommend storing BuzzBallz in hotter temperatures because they are made with natural juices and creams.
