Jongga Traditional Korean Cut Cabbage Kimchi 1kg

1.When a plastic Kimchi package is swollen with gas, is the Kimchi still good?

Yes, the Kimchi is still good.
The swelling of the package occurs because Kimchi is a fermented product, and it continues to ferment over time, producing gas.Some plastic packages have a small valve on the top that allows excess gas to escape.However, if this “valve” becomes blocked (for example, if the package has been stored upside down for too long), the package can still become swollen.
Of course, a swollen package may not look appealing to consumers, but the Kimchi inside is still safe to eat.

2.After the package has been opened, how can consumers tell if the Kimchi is still good?

There is no fixed number of days that can be determined.
The “best before” (THT) date on the packaging applies only to unopened products that have been stored under the manufacturer’s recommended conditions.After opening, the Kimchi should be kept airtight and stored in the coldest part of the refrigerator.
