  • If you notice fizzing or bubbling (from fermentation), a sour taste, or an “off” smell, these are signs the syrup may be spoiled. Please discard the product if any of these signs appear.

8. Does this syrup need to be refrigerated?

• Yes, refrigerate the syrup as soon as it arrives to maintain its freshness and potency. Always ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use, and avoid cross-contamination.
• The proper refrigerator storage temperature to prevent spoilage is between 1°C and 4°C. Keeping food in this range slows bacteria growth and prevents spoilage. We recommend using a fridge thermometer to monitor temperature—you’ll be surprised how much it can fluctuate between shelves. This helps prevent food wastage, saving money and benefiting the environment.
