We ship our Flavor Wrapped Kernels with cold packs to help keep the kernels cool while in transit because we know delivery trucks can get hot in some locations. Our kernels will start to get squishy or even melt at temps above 90 degrees.
Kernels are totally OK stored in your pantry and are 100% OK to eat if the cold packs in your package have melted. We skip the ice packs all together during the winter months to certain locations.
