Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 24 Months
- Storage Conditions
Recommended storage temperature is 50°F -100°F (10°C-38°C). Storage at elevated temperature may result in caking of the sorbitol which would affect ease of handling. Shelf life is 2 years. Retest every 24 months for water, reducing sugars and assay.
