Our products have a 2-year shelf life from time of packing. Meaning, if you have an unopened Bubbies product purchased in the last 6 months, it should remain safe to consume (unopened & kept refrigerated) for approximately another year! Once opened and if kept refrigerated, we recommend consuming the product within 3-4 months (our horseradish products within 2 months), though all should remain healthy to eat until each product's Expiration Date. For best results, keep all brined products submerged. If your brine is low, just add some filtered water or, better yet, do what Bubbie does and mix in some brine from another Bubbies product. Yum!
