Our products are more similar to what you would find in the in-store bakery section of a grocery store and contain fewer preservatives than boxed items. These are good for 14 days from their ship date and generally arrive to customers with 10-12 days of shelf-life remaining. You should have received an insert indicating that the item can be frozen to preserve freshness. Please be assured the product has been tested and will thaw perfectly fine for consumption at a later date.
