#duet with @Julia McCoy This *ALSO* applies to treats and👇 “Ideally, dry food should be stored in its original bag. Many manufacturers put a lot of research into packaging and test the shelf life of the food in the original packaging… it can help protect nutrients in the food from breaking down.” -Tufts.edu “Proper food storage maintains nutritional value… Store pet food and treats in the original bag.” -FDA.gov While this may be the “optimal” way to store kibble, it doesnt make you an awful human if you do it differently 👇 If you need to pour the kibble out, consider a glass or food safe container, but thoroughly clean between each bag to avoid leftover fats/mold etc 🧼 And i get that larger bags tend to cost less, but for optimal freshness, it’s safest to buy the BIGGEST bag you can afford that can be fed in under 3-4 weeks Once that bag opens, fats can start to oxidize and go rancid. This is WHY pet food manufacturers put so much money/research into the science of the bag material - to protect the nutrients/fats But whatever you can do, just so your best. It’s all anyone can ask for For pet food tips, follow along! ❤️ #dogfood #kibblestorage #petfood #kibble #simplehuman #dogmom #dogsoftiktok #dogsaregreat
