Fermentation - Explosive Goodness!

inner-ēco™ Coconut Water Probiotic Kefir is a living food, brimming with live beneficial bacteria. To inhibit further fermentation and culturing of the bacteria, it is important to always keep the product refrigerated. When left sealed, outside of refrigeration, continued fermentation can create excessive carbon dioxide build-up resulting in increased pressure and possible explosion of the lid. This activity is a clear indication of the probiotic potency (full of life) of the kefir and is in no way a reflection of any detrimental quality of the product. inner-ēco™ Coconut Water Probiotic Kefir is best consumed within one month of opening the bottle to ensure its probiotic potency and quality. You will know if a bottle ever goes bad due to its unmistakable foul smell which indicates the presence of undesirable bacteria. In this situation, always trust your nose and discard the product. To avoid introducing undesirable bacteria, it is recommended to never drink directly from the bottle.
