1, unopened cat food

The natural cat food we buy in the supermarket or online usually has a long shelf life, usually about 12 months-18 months, because of some ways to extend the shelf life, such as preservatives or sealing with aluminum foil bags.

2. Sealed cat food

The shelf life of cat food after opening is generally not more than 1 month. The shelf life of most cat foods will not exceed 1 month after opening, because the protein content of cat foods is very high. Once opened, fatty acids are prone to oxidation, and protein is prone to denaturation and even corruption to produce aflatoxin. As time goes on, the loss of vitamins and minerals will be less and less.

Suggestions on the consumption of cat food

When the temperature is high in summer, cat food is put in the cat's tableware and can't be eaten after 24 hours. The temperature is low in autumn and winter, so cat food can be put on the cat's food plate for about 2-3 days, and it can't be eaten after 3 days.
