A clip is a packaging accessory, not a substitute for the product's storage instructions. Check whether the pouch can be closed as intended and kept upright if needed.
What to check
| Check | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Pouch | Read after-opening directions. |
| Clip | Check width and grip. |
| Location | Use the required storage conditions. |

Before you decide
Follow the food's directions even when the package looks neatly closed.
