Lemon pepper should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Properly stored, it can maintain its flavor and quality for up to 12-18 months. Avoid storing it near the stove, as heat and moisture can degrade its flavor and cause clumping. Check occasionally for clumping and discard if it loses its aroma or flavor.
