Our meals are designed for ambient storage conditions, not too hot and not too cold! Either freezing or storing them at high temperatures could actually damage the quality of the meals. To assure shelf life integrity, store unopened pouch or tray J&M® meals in the pantry, in your office, or in your locker.

Once the meal is heated, it should be consumed and not be returned to the shelf for storage. If the meal is opened, it should be put into a storage container and promptly refrigerated as all prepared food items are handled.

Meals are not shelf stable once opened.
