Storage tips
- Keep re-hydrated textured soy protein sealed in a cool, dry cupboard to hit the window above.
- Keep soy flour and textured soy protein airtight in a cool, dark cupboard. Full-fat soy flour carries enough oil to go rancid, so refrigerating it extends the window well past the pantry figure.
How can you tell if re-hydrated textured soy protein has gone bad?
- A sour or off smell rather than the mild, neutral one it had fresh.
- In dry soy products: a rancid or paint-like smell from the fat in the flour, clumping from damp, or any sign of pantry pests.

Shelf-life windows come from the USDA FoodKeeper, published by the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (public domain); we vendor the FSIS FoodKeeper dataset and refresh it in place. These are quality estimates, not food-safety determinations or guarantees: actual condition depends on storage and handling, and harmful bacteria may not have obvious signs. Follow package and official guidance; when in doubt, throw it out. See our food safety notice and terms.
