Storage Tips
Store vegan yogurt in the refrigerator at a temperature between 35°F and 40°F to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. Keep it tightly sealed to avoid absorbing odors from other foods. Once opened, consume within 5-7 days for optimal taste and texture. Avoid freezing, as it can alter the consistency and flavor of the yogurt.
