Food Safety Policy
Effective Date: August 2026
This Food Storage & Safety Policy applies to the Fruit Strip products and other food products sold through vapuske.com, operated by FC SNACKS INC.
This policy provides general guidance regarding the storage, handling, and safe consumption of our food products. Customers should always follow the storage, handling, ingredient, allergen, and best-before information provided on the individual product packaging, as product requirements may vary.
1. Product Quality & Food Safety
At Vapuske, we are committed to providing customers with food products that meet applicable quality and food safety requirements.
Our Fruit Strip products are manufactured and packaged using established food production and handling processes. We work with appropriate manufacturing and packaging partners to help maintain product quality, consistency, and shelf stability.
Products are subject to applicable quality control procedures before being made available for sale.
While we take reasonable measures to maintain product quality and safety, customers should inspect products after delivery and follow all applicable storage and handling instructions.
2. Storage Instructions
Proper storage is important for maintaining the quality, texture, flavor, and shelf life of Fruit Strip products.
Unopened Products
Unless otherwise stated on the product packaging, unopened products should generally be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, and strong odors.
Avoid exposing products to conditions that may adversely affect their quality or packaging.
Opened Products
After opening a package, reseal the product securely after each use to minimize exposure to moisture, air, contaminants, and other environmental conditions.
Opened products should generally be consumed within the period recommended on the product packaging. If no specific instruction is provided, customers should use their best judgment based on the product's appearance, smell, texture, and overall condition.
Refrigeration
Refrigeration is not necessarily required for all Fruit Strip products.
If the product packaging provides specific refrigeration instructions, customers should follow those instructions.
Do not freeze a product unless freezing is specifically recommended on the product packaging, as freezing may affect the product's texture or overall quality.
