Does this need to be refrigerated?

I couldn't find out online but have had mine in the fridge for 3 weeks since first use. Looks and tastes as if first opened.

Is this gluten free? Does it say ‘may contain wheat/gluten on the ingredients?

It says on the label contains wheat extract. There is no mention of if being gluten free.

Does anyone know what the square pouch is for that attached to the seal for? I’ve never seen one before, and wondered what it is

It is to keep it fresh before opeinjbgn

When will the expiration be if I order tom?

This lasts opened for about three months
