After opening, REFRIGERATED Almond Breeze® should be used within 14 days and SHELF STABLE Almond Breeze® should be used within 14 days. Because Almond Breeze® does not contain preservatives, it is susceptible to bacterial growth such as mold after being opened for a prolonged period of time at room temperature. Blue Diamond^® does not recommend extending the Refrigerated “Use By” or Shelf Stable “Best Before”/ "Best if Used By" time frame of Almond Breeze® and Blue Diamond^® will not guarantee the quality of the product beyond this recommended time frame.
