[QUOTE="badmedisin, post: 1727401, member: 16874"] Once they've been out of the fridge, they're OK for 4 weeks. You shouldn't put them back in the fridge, as temperature fluctuations can mess up the mechanism. If it's already gone out of temperature range, putting it back in the fridge won't solve the problem anyway, it's all about proteins being denatured - the same as an egg turning white when you boil it, and have you ever tried to un-boil an egg? ;) It might be ok for longer than that but don't expect any sympathy from manufacturers if you have problems - if you haven't followed storage instructions to the letter, that frees them of any responsibility... ;) [/QUOTE]
