Marilyn, I think the store staff have seen the temp recommended and decided
the cocoa was better in the fridge. This pack was a waterproof resealable
pack. I've just put it in a container and into the coolest cupboard, I am
hoping it will be fine. It's gorgeous chocolate powder, I am using only half
I usually do as the flavour is so strong and intense.
Best. Valerie

Well, I'm at a loss about that cocoa. Can't say that I've ever had
anyone read the fine print on mine, but it's always been kept in a
cupboard in it's original container, which is a cardboard container
with a snap on plastic lid. Of course, if you get busy cooking and
use it up quickly, it won't have time to spoil. (smirk) Sorry I
don't have any constructive advice for you.
TTFN,
Marilyn
