We mark our products with an expiration date approximately 6 months from the date it is packaged. 

Sort of. We pack your order inside a thick, compostable, insulated mailer with ice packs. This gives your goods a day or two of additional coolness while in transit. It is not necessary for ferments to ship at refrigeration temperatures, encased in styrofoam with dry ice. 

Yes. Refrigerating your products will halt any fermentation that may have resumed in transit and they will keep longer when cold. Temperature fluctuations may cause your packages to puff in the fridge, simply poke a hole and release the fermentation gas, which is totally normal and safe. 

No. Fermented products can be safely transported unrefrigerated and can stay out of refrigeration for several days with no impact on their food safety. There is no danger of spoilage or harm to the products within standard transit times. They are similar to red wine in this way, which when opened can be stored at room temp on the counter for several days. Recall that fermentation was the preservation methods of our ancestors for thousands of years before refrigerators were invented. 

Lactobacillus bacteria is incredibly hearty and will remain alive in temperatures ranging from below freezing up to 143 degrees (the temperature to pasteurize food is 144 degrees F, which kills bacteria.) 

You can expect a box full of healthy, colorful ferments! Your ice packs will be completely melted and probably even warm. Fermentation may have resumed in some of your products, creating healthy gas that causes the packages to puff. No need for concern, all you need to do is open or ‘burp’ the package, otherwise it will burst and leak. Some leaking may have occurred, just rinse your packages off, transfer contents if you like and enjoy your ferments.
