Storage & Handling

Handling and Storage

Care must be taken during storage and shipment to avoid damaging the flavor. BBSI recommends during shipping Transition Soy Shortening is kept below 90°F (32°C) and above 40°F (5°C). During warehouse or kitchen storage, BBSI recommends Transition Soy Shortening is kept between 65°F and 80°F (18°C-27°C). Packaged animal fats will absorb off-flavors if stored near food items with strong odors. Unsaturated fatty acids will oxidize if kept in a warm place over a long period of time.

Shelf Life

Nine months after packing date. The shelf life will be affected by storage conditions such as temperature, humidity and light. BBSI recommends Transition Soy Shortening is stored at 65°F-80°F (18°C-27°C) and away from heat sources such as griddles and deep fryers.
