Make Tata Salt last the full window
Do
- Refrigerate promptly after each use, at 5°C / 40°F or below.
- Use a clean utensil every time you take a portion.
- Keep it sealed — the original lid or an airtight container.
- Skip the freezer for this one — Not suitable for freezing.
Don't
- Leave it out on the counter while cooking or serving.
- Double-dip or return unused portions to the container.
- Store it in the fridge door if you open the fridge often — it is the warmest spot.
- Taste it to "test" safety. If in doubt, throw it out.

Where this guidance comes from
The Tata Salt window blends official US food-safety guidance with typical manufacturer opened-storage instructions. The label on your specific product always wins if it is stricter.
Storage note
Since salt is a stable, non-perishable mineral, both UK and US guidelines treat it as having an indefinite shelf life when stored correctly.
Check before eating
Look

Smell
Salt does not produce an odor when spoiled.
Texture
The texture may become excessively moist or clumped, but this is usually due to environmental factors, not spoilage.
