Shelf life, best-by, expiration dates, and storage guidelinesUpdated 37 minutes ago

FODZYME uses best-by dates rather than expiration dates because the enzymes do not suddenly stop working on a specific day. The best-by date indicates the period during which enzyme activity is at its optimal effectiveness, assuming proper storage.

Is FODZYME still usable after the best-by date?

Yes, for a period of time. Before the best-by date, enzyme activity is at peak effectiveness. After the best-by date, activity begins to gradually decline. FODZYME may still provide benefit, but it may not work as effectively as it did within the recommended timeframe.

Where to find the best-by date

On the Home Kit, the best-by date is located at the bottom of the jar:

On the On-the-Go Kit, it's found at the back of the flap on each packet:

How to store FODZYME

Store in a cool, dry place below 77°F (25°C) and keep tightly sealed between uses. Avoid exposure to humidity or moisture. In warm or humid environments, storing FODZYME in the refrigerator can help extend enzyme stability.

Will FODZYME be damaged if it sits in a hot mailbox or delivery truck?

FODZYME is designed to withstand temperatures up to 140°F (60°C), which is higher than what a typical mailbox or delivery vehicle reaches, even on a hot day. Sitting in a mailbox for several hours should not affect the product.

If you want to double check after delivery, open the jar and give it a quick smell. FODZYME has a mild, neutral scent—if anything smells off or unusual, please reach out to us at [email protected].

For especially hot climates, storing FODZYME in the refrigerator once you bring it inside can help extend enzyme stability during the summer months.

How long does FODZYME last?

With proper storage, FODZYME maintains its quality for a good while. Because enzymes naturally lose activity over time, we recommend using your FODZYME before the best-by date for the best experience.
