koko 14,366 Posted August 25, 2009 I know I have had some food for 4 months and it was nice a fresh as long as you keep it tightly sealed up and in a dry/dark place. I use all mine up so I couldnt tell you longer than that hun :O3r 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack of Hearts 9 Posted August 26, 2009 For the medicated food like Medigold and Metromeds, Rick says 6 month after the jar is opened and 9 month if the jar is never cracked open. Since Progold is not medicated food so it should last at least as long as those two. Progold of course contains probiotics so the shelf life is not as long as the other mass produced stuff sold at petshops. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newbiefishgirl 1 Posted August 26, 2009 Good to see you Jack! Def throw out any left over after 6 months if opened. Try to buy smaller bags so they get used quicker! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daryl 11 Posted August 26, 2009 I agree!!!! JOH!!! I use a vacumn sealer and seal up packets of ProGold and any other type of processed pelleted food. Do not FREEZE. These packets, being sealed from the air (and marked with the date of seal) are stored in a dark, relatively cool and dry place. The food remains good for up to a year that way. You only have to open about 1 every 2 weeks - and it all stays good. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trinket 108 Posted August 26, 2009 Good to see you Jack! Isn't it!! Daryl's idea sounds great. Small packages reduce that problem of constantly exposing the food to air and light which kills vit C. especially. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
